Determinant method of solving simultaneous

equations

If a, b, c and d are any four numbers, the value ad-bc is represented

|π‘Ž 𝑏𝑐 𝑑|

The value of the Determinant is ad-bc.

As it has two rows and two columns It is called as

determinant of order two

where , , , , and are the real numbers such that

and and y are variables.𝓍

simultaneous equations

π‘Ž1π‘₯+𝑏1 𝑦=𝑐1

π‘Ž2π‘₯+𝑏2𝑦=𝑐2

For equating the coefficients of y, let us multiply equation (1) by

and equation (2) by to get,

π’‚πŸπ’™+π’ƒπŸπ’š=π’„πŸ π’‚πŸπ’™+π’ƒπŸπ’š=π’„πŸ

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3),

∴ 𝓍 =

∴y =

From equations (5) and (6)

Determinants we get, 𝓍 = and y =

This method of obtaining solution of simultaneous equations by using determinants

is known as Cramer’s Rule.

Solve the following simultaneous equations using Cramer’s rule.

The given equations are 5 –y = 5𝓍5 + y = 15𝓍

D = = 5 Γ— 1 – (-1 Γ— 5) = 5+ 5 = 10

= = 5 Γ— 1 – (-1 Γ— 15) = 5 + 15 = 20

= =5 Γ— 15 – (5 Γ— 5) = 75 – 25 = 50

𝓍 = = = 10

y = = = 5

∴ 𝓍 = 10 and y = 5 is the solution of the given simultaneous equations.
