Who discovered the systems of linear equation?
The concept of systems of linear equations dates back to ancient civilizations such as Babylonians and Egyptians. However, the systematic study and formalization of solving systems of linear equations is attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, who introduced the method of substitution and elimination in his work "Elements." Later mathematicians such as Gauss and Cramer made significant contributions to the theory and methods of solving systems of linear equations.
When solving systems of linear equations what does the solution represent?
A single point, at which the lines intercept.
What are 2 symbolic techniques used to solve linear equations and which is better?
There are more than two methods, and of these, matrix inversion is probably the easiest for solving systems of linear equations in several unknowns.
When solving systems of linear equation's when would you get no solution as an answer?
You get no solution if the lines representing the graphs of both equations have the same slope, i.e. they're parallel. "No solution" is NOT an answer.
How does solving a literal equation differ from solving a linear equation?
Because linear equations are based on algebra equal to each other whereas literal equations are based on solving for one variable.
