What is a simulteanous equation ?

Answer 1

Definition of simultaneous:
Happening, existing, or done at the same time.
Systems of equations are solved simultaneously. You find a common solution (if one exists).

Answer 2

i think the question should be what are simultaneous equations.
these equations are solved simultaneously and the solution set should satisfy both/all equations.
if we have an equation x+y=4,depending on the value we ascribe to any one variable there will be corresponding values for the other variable satisfying the equation.thus come of the ordered pairs can be (0,4);(1,3);(2,2);(3,1) and so on
if we take another equation x-y=4 some of the ordered pairs can be ((1,-3);(2,-2);(3,-1);(0,-4) and so on
but only one ordered pair namely (4,0) will satisfy both the equations simultaneously or in other words to get a solution set which satisfies both the equations we have to solve both simultaneously and not in isolation.
hope i have explained it and this is the answer you were looking for

Answer 3

You need at least two for them to be simultaneous.

It's when you have two (or more) variables, and two (or more) equations--since with only one equation you can only ever solve for one variable.

Ex: 3x + 2y = 9
x+ y = 13

then using the two, you can get x = 13-y
3(13-y) + 2y = 9
39 - 3y + 2y = 9
39 - y = 9
y=30

And then substituting back
x + 30 = 13
x = -17

Answer 4

Simultaneous equations is two or more equations in which the values of the unknown quantities entering them are the same at the same time in both or in all.
