How the two-equation system solver works
Solve two linear equations in x and y using determinants, with substitution checks for both equations.
For a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂, determinant D = a₁b₂ − a₂b₁. When D ≠ 0, x = (c₁b₂ − c₂b₁)/D and y = (a₁c₂ − a₂c₁)/D.
Read our calculation methodology and limitations.
Example
x + y = 7 and x − y = 1 have the unique solution x = 4, y = 3.
What affects the result
- A zero determinant means there is no unique solution.
- Proportional equations can describe the same line.
- Substitution checks both equations.
Frequently asked questions
What does determinant zero mean?
The lines are parallel or identical, so the system has no unique intersection.
Can this solve three equations?
No. This version handles two equations with two unknowns.
