SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS ARE TWO OR MORE ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
THAT SHARE
VARIABLES SUCH AS “X” AND “Y”. THEY ARE CALLED SIMULTANEOUS
EQUATIONS BECAUSE
THE EQUATIONS ARE SOLVED AT THE SAME TIME AND SOLUTIONS FOR X
AND Y CAN
FIT IN BOTH EQUATIONS
IN THE AIR AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS
An air traffic controller can use simultaneous equations to ensure two airplanes don’t intersect at the
same time to prevent collisions. This can further be shown on highways and roads as traffic lights also
regulate incoming traffic to prevent accidents
ENGINEERING
ENGINEERS USE MANY PROGRAMMING OR COMPUTER APPLICATIONS SUCH AS MATLAB
TO SOLVE LINEAR SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO REPRESENT THEM ON
GRAPHS.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS USE SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS TO SOLVE FOR CURRENTS AND
VOLTAGES IN RESISTIVE CIRCUITS
BASIC PHYSICS IN ENGINEERING ALSO USE SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS TO SOLVE FOR UNKNOWN
FORCES ACTING ON AN OBJECT WHEN IN EQUILIBRIUM
ECONOMICS AND BUSSINESS MATH
WHEN CALCULATING FOR THE COST OF AN ITEM, SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS ARE USED TO FIND THE
COST OF A PRODUCT.
