Quadratic Simultaneous Equations – GCSE Maths
Introduction
- Two or more equations that share variables and have set of values for variables that satisfy both the equations are called Simultaneous Equations.
- If the maximum power raised to the variable in Simultaneous equations is one then these are called Linear Simultaneous Equations.
- Similarly If the power raised to the variables is two they are called Quadratic Simultaneous Equations.
Step by Step Solving Quadratic Simultaneous Equations
Example: 
Putting y = 2x -1 in 2nd equation –
For x = -3 from 1st Equation-


Solved Example:
Problem: 
Step#1: Substitute the value of one variable from linear equation(to eliminate one variable)-
From 1st Equation-

Put x = -2 in 1st Equation –

Step#3:Final Answer-
Solved Example:
Problem: 
Step#1: Substitute the value of one variable from linear equation(to eliminate one variable)-
From 1st Equation,

Put in 2nd Equation,

Divide by 2 on both sides and doing factorisation-
Put y = 4 in 1st Equation –


Solved Example:
Problem: 
Step#1: Substitute the value of one variable from linear equation(to eliminate one variable)-
From 1st Equation-


Step#2: Substitute the values obtained back into the original equation and find possible values of another variable-
Put x = -3 in 1st Equation –
