	Simultaneous equations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, simultaneous equations, or systems of equations, are a set of equations where variables are shared.
		A common technique is the substitution method: try to solve one of the equations for one of the variables and substitute the result into the other equations, thereby reducing the number of equations and the number of variables by 1.
		Simultaneous equation models are a form of statistical model in the form of a set of linear simultaneous equations.

	simultaneous equations - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about simultaneous equations
		Linear simultaneous equations can be solved by using algebraic manipulation to eliminate one of the variables, coordinate geometry, or matrices (see matrix).
		Another method is by plotting the equations on a graph, because the two equations represent straight lines in coordinate geometry and the coordinates of their point of intersection are the values of x and y that are true for both of them.
		If the equations represent either two parallel lines or the same line, then there will be no solutions or an infinity of solutions, respectively.

		"Simultaneous equations" are two or more equations which have two or more unknowns to be found.
		The method of elimination involves manipulating the two equations so that one can be added/ subtracted from the other to leave us with an equation with only one unknown.
		Simultaneous equation can also be solved by graphical methods.

		Simultaneous Equations - 3D equations of simultaneous equations with three variables.
		Simultaneous equations are sets of two or more equations with solutions which must be correct for the variables in each equation.
		Simultaneous equations can contain any number of variables but are only easily solvable if there are the same number of variables as there are equations.

	Simultaneous Equations
		For example, x + y = 4 and x - 2y = 1 are simultaneous equations which are true for x = 3 and y = 1 (these satisfy both equations).
		When there are 3 unknowns, 3 equations are needed- in fact in order to solve simultaneous equations, in general there must be as many different equations as there are unknowns.
		You can solve simultaneous equations by drawing graphs of the two equations you wish to solve.

	Fixing Simultaneous Equations
		Although active, initial, and data equations all result in the same form of error, the true source and solution of the errors might differ.
		Simultaneous data equations are generally the result of typographical errors, although they can bear some resemblance to simultaneous active equations.
		This happens because when a simultaneous equation is first identified, the variables involved will not be searched further until the problem has been corrected.

		This means that whatever operations are done on the left hand side of the equation, the same operation has to also be done on the right hand side of the equation.
		Equations that have to be solved simultaneously (at the same time) are called simultaneous equations.
		In general, there is a rule that if there are two unknown variables in an equation, you need another equation with the same variables, with which we will be able to find the values of the two variables; if there are three variables, you need three simultaneous equations.

		A pair of "Simultaneous equations" is two equations which are both true at the same time.
		This involves changing the two equations so that one can be added/ subtracted from the other to leave us with an equation with only one unknown (which we can solve).
		We can 'change' the equations by multiplying them through by a constant- as long as we multiply both sides of the equation by the same number it will remain true.

		Solving simultaneous equations depends on making one of the letters disappear. To make the letter disappear, find a pair with the same number in front, then look at the signs in front of the numbers and then either add or subtract. To decide whether to add or subtract, do the opposite of the normal rule
		Then substitute your result into either of the equations (1) or (2), whichever has the easiest numbers, and solve
		Sometimes, neither of the two letters will match. In this case, either one or both equations need to be multiplied to get the numbers to match

		An option we have, then, is to add the corresponding sides of the equations together to form a new equation.

		Now we can see that if x=3 and y=1, then both equations are satisfied, but if we try a different value that satisfies one equation (eg x=4, y =0.25), then we can see that this does NOT satisfy the second equation.
		If we put our values of x into the other equation, then we find that suddenly we’ve got one equation, which, while it might seem a little messy, is fairly straight forward to rearrange.
		One way of visualizing the simplification is to divide both sides of this equation by the same number.

		At the initial time Vensim will initialize the variable using the second argument and then compute all the equations in the loop iteratively until the values of the loop variables no longer change significantly.
