Solving a System of Linear Equations - Three Methods WORKSHEET
Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
Solving a System of Linear Equations - Three Methods WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet requires students to practice three methods for solving linear simultaneous equations: graphically, by elimination, and by substitution.
In Section A, students solve two pairs of simultaneous equations using all three methods. The first set presents a simple system where the sum and difference of x and y are given, making elimination a natural approach. The second set involves equations in the form y = mx + c, reinforcing graphical solutions.
Section B challenges students to select the most efficient method to solve new pairs of equations.
Coordinate grids are provided for each question, as is ample room for students’ workings out.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
