GCSE Tier: Foundation/Higher
Targeting grades: 4-5
Prerequisite knowledge: Solving linear equations, substitution.
Learning Objective: Solving linear simultaneous equations

Solving Linear Simultaneous Equations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to give purposeful practice for solving linear simultaneous equations.

Section A provides sets of equations where one unknown can be found directly with an addition or subtraction without the need for any multiples or substitution.

Section B then provides sets of equations that will a multiple one of equation for the elimination method.

The question in section C will require multiples of both equations and the questions in section D will require some rearrangement before applying a method.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
