That way it is possible to find the only pair of values that solve both equations at the same time. These are known as simultaneous equations. The unknowns of \(x\) and \(y\) have the same value ...

Simultaneous equations are often two linear equations that can be plotted on a set of axes. Each linear equation can be drawn as a line on a graph. The co-ordinate where the two lines intersect ...

A MECHANICAL calculating machine for solving simultaneous linear equations up to ten in number under construction at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Drs. V. Bush and J. B. Wilbur was ...
