CHAPTER 4- SIMULATANEOUS EQUATIONS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
1. In Form Three, we have learned about to solve simultaneous equations between two linear equations
with two unknowns.
2. In Form Four, we will learn about to solve simultaneous equations between linear equation and non-
linear equation which is quadratic equation with two unknowns.

Example 3:
Given A (-2h, 5k) is the solution to the simultaneous equations 522
=+ yx and 32 =+ yx , find the
values of h and k.
Solution:
Method 1
From the coordinate (-2h, 5k),-2h is the value for x and 5k is the value for y. Hence change the terms x
and y with -2h and 5k respectively.
