Simultaneous equations like 𝒚 = 2𝒙 - 1 and 𝒚 = 𝒙 + 1 can be represented graphically. To solve the equations graphically, the two lines 𝒚 = 𝒙 + 1 and 𝒚 = 2𝒙 - 1 are drawn on the same diagram.

Be careful to note what a GCSE question is asking. If it states ‘solve algebraically’ then you must do so. To find solutions from graphs, look for the point where the two graphs cross one another.

with B * = I- B. This requires that one of the preceding equations be solved for P t. Solving the second equation for P t yields You can estimate the intercepts of a system of simultaneous equations ...
