CBSE Class 10 Pair of Linear Equations in 2 Variables (10) - 0

This document provides examples of problems involving pairs of linear equations in two variables. It contains 4 sections (A-D) with increasing difficulty. Section A has single-step problems finding points of intersection or values of k. Section B involves solving systems of equations for x and y. Section C contains word problems that set up systems of equations. Section D has multi-step word problems applying systems of equations and requiring additional logic to arrive at the solution. The document serves as a reference for sample problems involving pairs of linear equations from introductory to more complex examples.

consistent. (CBSE 2010)
