Ek akela equation jaise 2 x + 3 y = 12 ke infinitely many solutions hote hain — ek straight line par har point. Ek single pair ( x , y ) pakadne ke liye tumhe ek doosra equation chahiye. Ek system solve karna matlab do lines ka crossing point dhundhna.
KYUN zaroori hai: almost har "do-unknown" wali real problem (coins ka mix, boat aur stream ki speed, do items ki cost) do linear equations ban jaati hai.
KYA dhundh rahe hain: intersection point ( x , y ) .
KAISE : graphically (dono lines draw karo) ya algebraically (substitution / elimination).
Definition Do variables mein linear equation
Ek equation jis ki form ho
a x + b y + c = 0 , ( a , b ) = ( 0 , 0 )
jahan a , b , c real constants hain aur x , y variables hain degree 1 ke (koi x 2 nahi, koi x y nahi, koi x nahi). Iska graph ek straight line hota hai.
KYUN straight line? y ke liye solve karo: y = − b a x − b c . Yeh y = m x + k hai — constant slope m , toh x mein equal steps se y mein bhi equal steps aate hain. Change ki constant rate ⇒ ek line.
a 1 x + b 1 y a 2 x + b 2 y = c 1 = c 2
Teen geometric possibilities:
KYUN yeh ratios? Line 1 ka slope hai − a 1 / b 1 , line 2 ka hai − a 2 / b 2 . Equal slopes ⇔ a 2 a 1 = b 2 b 1 ⇔ parallel ya same . Agar constant ratio bhi match kare, toh ek equation doosre ka sirf ek multiple hai → same line . Agar nahi, toh woh alag-alag shifted hain → parallel, no solution .
Intuition Ek equation mein ek variable isolate karo, phir use "plug in" karo — yeh do unknowns ko ek mein badal deta hai.
Intuition Equations ko scale karo taaki ek variable ka
same coefficient ho, phir use khatam karne ke liye add/subtract karo. KYUN yeh valid hai: ek true equation ke dono sides mein equal quantities add karna use true hi rakhta hai.
Worked example Elimination — unique solution
2 x + 3 y = 13 , 3 x − y = 3 solve karo.
Eqn 2 ko 3 se multiply karo: 9 x − 3 y = 9 . Kyun? Taaki 3 y match ho aur add karne par y cancel ho jaaye.
Eqn 1 mein add karo: ( 2 x + 9 x ) + ( 3 y − 3 y ) = 13 + 9 ⇒ 11 x = 22 ⇒ x = 2 .
Eqn 2 mein back-substitute karo: 3 ( 2 ) − y = 3 ⇒ y = 3 . Kyun eqn 2? Yeh simpler hai.
Answer ( 2 , 3 ) . Check karo: 2 ( 2 ) + 3 ( 3 ) = 13 ✓, 3 ( 2 ) − 3 = 3 ✓.
Worked example Substitution — word problem
Ek boat 30 km downstream 3 h mein aur 30 km upstream 5 h mein jaati hai. Boat speed b aur stream speed s nikalo.
Downstream speed = b + s = 30/3 = 10 . Upstream = b − s = 30/5 = 6 . Kyun add/subtract? Stream downstream mein help karta hai, upstream mein oppose karta hai.
Pehle se: s = 10 − b . Substitute karo: b − ( 10 − b ) = 6 ⇒ 2 b = 16 ⇒ b = 8 .
s = 10 − 8 = 2 .
Boat 8 km/h, stream 2 km/h.
Worked example "No solution" detect karna
x + 2 y = 4 aur 2 x + 4 y = 12 .
Ratios: 2 1 = 4 2 = 2 1 lekin 12 4 = 3 1 = 2 1 . Toh a 2 a 1 = b 2 b 1 = c 2 c 1 → parallel, no solution . Kyun? Same slope, alag intercepts.
Recall
4 x + 6 y = 20 aur 2 x + 3 y = 10 solve karne se pehle, type forecast karo.
Ratios 2 4 = 3 6 = 10 20 = 2 . Sab equal ⇒ same line, infinitely many solutions . Verify karo: pehle ko 2 se divide karne par exactly doosra milta hai. ✓ Forecast confirmed.
Common mistake "Terms move karne par sign flip hota hai"
Galat jo sahi lagta hai: tum jaldi mein likhte ho 3 x − y = 3 ⇒ y = 3 x + 3 .
Kyun tempting lagta hai: − y ko doosri side le jaane par "woh bas chal jaata hai." Fix: 3 x − y = 3 ⇒ − y = 3 − 3 x ⇒ y = 3 x − 3 . Har move hone wale term ka sign flip hota hai.
Common mistake "Parallel lines ka ek solution hota hai"
Sahi lagta hai: do lines "zaroor" kahin milti hongi. Fix: parallel lines ka equal slope hota hai aur woh kabhi nahi miltiñ — ratio test a 2 a 1 = b 2 b 1 = c 2 c 1 no solution signal karta hai.
Common mistake "Sirf ek equation check karna"
( x , y ) milne ke baad, students sirf ek equation verify karte hain. Fix: point ko dono satisfy karna chahiye — guarantee karne ke liye ki yeh intersection hai, dono mein substitute karo.
Recall Ek 12-saal ke bacche ko explain karo
Socho ek map par do seedhi sadkein hain. Ek equation = ek sadak. Answer dhundhna matlab exactly woh jagah dhundhna jahan do sadkein cross karti hain — wahi ( x , y ) dono ke liye kaam karta hai. Agar sadkein same sadak hain, toh woh har jagah milti hain (infinite answers). Agar woh train tracks ki tarah parallel hain, toh woh kabhi nahi miltiñ (no answer).
"SEC" teen cases ke liye
S ame line = sab ratios Same hain. E qual-slope-only = parallel, no solution. C ross once = coefficients differ (unique). Aur method choice ke liye: "Ek variable akela ho? Substitution. Coefficients tidy ho? Elimination."
Do variables mein linear equation ki general form? a x + b y + c = 0 with ( a , b ) = ( 0 , 0 ) ; graph ek straight line hai.
Do variables mein EK linear equation ke kitne solutions hote hain? Infinitely many (apni line par har point).
UNIQUE solution ke liye ratio condition? a 2 a 1 = b 2 b 1 .
NO solution (parallel) ke liye ratio condition? a 2 a 1 = b 2 b 1 = c 2 c 1 .
INFINITE solutions (same line) ke liye ratio condition? a 2 a 1 = b 2 b 1 = c 2 c 1 .
Elimination (Cramer) se x ka formula? x = a 1 b 2 − a 2 b 1 c 1 b 2 − c 2 b 1 .
Denominator D = a 1 b 2 − a 2 b 1 = 0 ka geometrically kya matlab hai? Lines parallel ya same hain → koi unique solution nahi.
Boat b aur stream s ke terms mein downstream vs upstream speeds? Downstream = b + s , upstream = b − s .
Graph straight line kyun hota hai? y = − b a x − b c ka constant slope hai → equal x -steps se equal y -steps milte hain.
Jab ek coefficient 1 ho toh best method? Substitution (us variable ko cleanly isolate karo).
