什么是 Linear system?

Definition 7.7 High School Mathematics · 第 7 章 — Equations of Lines and Linear Systems

A system of two linear equations in the unknowns xx and yy is a pair of equations

{ax+by=ca′x+b′y=c′\begin{cases} a x + b y = c \\ a' x + b' y = c' \end{cases}

to be satisfied simultaneously. A solution is a pair (x,y)(x, y) satisfying both. Each equation describes a line, so solving the system means finding the intersection of two lines.

A linear system seen geometrically: each equation is a line, and the solution (2,1) of  is their intersection point.
A linear system seen geometrically: each equation is a line, and the solution (2,1)(2,1) of Example 7.11 is their intersection point.

示例

Example 7.13 (Modeling with a system)

Three notebooks and two pens cost 88; one notebook and four pens cost 66. Let xx be the price of a notebook and yy that of a pen:

{3x+2y=8x+4y=6.\begin{cases} 3x + 2y = 8 \\ x + 4y = 6 . \end{cases}

From the second equation, x=6−4yx = 6 - 4y; substituting, 3(6−4y)+2y=83(6 - 4y) + 2y = 8, so 18−10y=818 - 10y = 8, giving y=1y = 1 and then x=2x = 2. A notebook costs 22 and a pen costs 11.
