Finish Line & Beyond PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES 1. Two linear equations in the same two variables are called a pair of linear equations in two variables. The most general form of a pair of linear equations is a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 where, a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, c2 are real numbers, such that a12 + b12 ≠ 0, a 22 + b22 ≠ 0 2. A pair of linear equations in two variables can be represented, and solved, by the: (i) graphical method (ii) algebraic method 3. Graphical Method : The graph of a pair of linear equations in two variables is represented by two lines. (i) If the lines intersect at a point, then that point gives the unique solution of the two equations. In this case, the pair of equations is consistent. (ii) If the lines coincide, then there are infinitely many solutions — each point on the line being a solution. In this case, the pair of equations is dependent (consistent). (iii) If the lines are parallel, then the pair of equations has no solution. In this case, the pair of equations is inconsistent. 4. Algebraic Methods : We have discussed the following methods for finding the solution(s) of a pair of linear equations : (i) Substitution Method (ii) Elimination Method (iii) Cross-multiplication Method 5. If a pair of linear equations is given by a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, then the following situations can arise : (i) a1 b1 ≠ a 2 b2 In this case, the pair of linear equations is consistent. (ii) a1 b1 c1 = ≠ a 2 b2 c 2 In this case, the pair of linear equations is inconsistent. www.excellup.com ©2009 send your queries to [email protected] Finish Line & Beyond (iii) a1 b1 c1 = = a 2 b2 c 2 In this case, the pair of linear equation is dependent and consistent. 6. There are several situations which can be mathematically represented by two equations that are not linear to start with. But we alter them so that they are reduced to a pair of linear equations. EXERCISE 1 1. Aftab tells his daughter, “Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be.” Represent this situation algebraically and graphically. Answer: Let us assume that seven years ago Aftab’s age was x years and his daughter’s age was y. So, as per the question x = 7y ⇒ x − 7 y = 0 --------------------------------- (i) The equation gives us the following table: X 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 Y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Now, three years from now means 10 years from 7 years back Aftab age will be x + 10 Daughter’s age will be y + As ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 10 per question x + 10 = 3( y + 10) x + 10 = 3 y + 30 x = 3 y + 20 x − 3 y − 20 = 0 ---------------------------- (ii) www.excellup.com ©2009 send your queries to [email protected] Finish Line & Beyond The equation gives us following table: X 23 26 29 32 35 38 41 Y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 60 Father's Age 50 ⇒ x − 3 y − 20 = 0 40 30 20 ⇒ x − 7y = 0 10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Daughter's Age 2. The coach of a cricket team buys 3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900. Later, she buys another bat and 2 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300. Represent this situation algebraically and geometrically. Answer: Let us assume number of bats = x and that of balls = y. As per the question we get following equations: 3 x + 6 y = 3900 ⇒ 3x = 3900 − 6 y ⇒ x = 1300 − 2 y ---------------------- (i) x + 2 y = 1300 ⇒ x = 1300 − 2 y ---------------------- (ii) As both equations are similar so there coincident lines in the graph, meaning there can be infinite number of solutions to this problem. www.excellup.com ©2009 send your queries to [email protected] Finish Line & Beyond 3. The cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be Rs 160. After a month, the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is Rs 300. Represent the situation algebraically and geometrically. Answer: Let us assume that cost of apple = x and that of grapes = y As per the question we get following equations: 2 x + y = 160 ⇒ y = 160 − 2 x --------------------------- (i) The equation gives us following table: X 1 2 3 4 5 Y 158 156 154 152 150 4 x + 2 y = 300 ⇒ 2 y = 300 − 4 x ⇒ y = 150 − 2 x --------------------------- (ii) The equation gives us following table: X 1 2 3 4 5 Y 148 146 144 142 140 www.excellup.com ©2009 send your queries to [email protected] Finish Line & Beyond 160 155 Grapes 150 y=160-2x 145 y=150-2x 140 135 130 1 2 3 4 5 Apples Since we get parallel lines in this graph so there will be no solution as equations are inconsistent. EXERCISE 2 1. Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions graphically. (i) 10 students of Class X took part in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz. Answer: Let us assume number of girls to be x and that of boys to be y. Then we get following equations: x = y + 4 -------------------- (i) The equation will give following table: X 4 5 6 7 8 9 Y 0 1 2 3 4 5 x + y = 10 ⇒ x = 10 − y --------------- (ii) www.excellup.com ©2009 send your queries to [email protected] Finish Line & Beyond The equation will give following table: X 10 9 8 7 6 5 Y 0 1 2 3 4 5 12 10 Girls 8 x=y+4 6 x=10-y 4 2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Boys As both lines intersect at 7, so Number of Girls= 7 and that of Boys=3 (ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs 46.

Also, 5 is the only value of y which gives similar values for x in both the tables. So cost of one pencil = Rs. 3 and one pen = 5 5 x + 7 y = 50 ⇒ 5 × 3 + 7 × 5 = 15 + 35 = 50 Check: 2.

Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden. Answer: Let us assume Length = x and breadth =y Then x=y+4 Perimeter = 2(x+y) ⇒ Pr imeter = x + y = x + x + 4 = 36 2 ⇒ 2 x + 4 = 36 ⇒ 2 x = 36 − 4 = 32 ⇒ x = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 Hence, y=16-4=12 So, Length = 16 m and Breadth = 12 m 6.

For a distance of 10 km, the charge paid is Rs 105 and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is Rs 155. What are the fixed charges and the charge per km? How much does a person have to pay for travelling a distance of 25 km? Answer: Let us assume the fixed charge = x And variable charge = y As per question: x + 10 y = 105 ------------------- (i) x + 15 y = 155 ------------------- (ii) ⇒ x = 155 − 15 y Substituting in equation (i) we get 155 − 15 y + 10 y = 105 ⇒ 155 − 5 y = 105 ⇒ 5 y = 155 − 105 = 50 ⇒ y = 10 ⇒ x = 155 − 15 × 10 = 5 So for 25 km the fair = 5 + 25 × 10 = 255 (v) A fraction becomes 9 , if 2 is added to both the numerator and the de11 nominator.
