Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables — Quick Notes & Formula Sheet Class 10 CBSE Mathematics · Chapter 3 · Complete Revision Guide (2026-27) 📌 2026-27 Syllabus Update — Read This First The Cross-Multiplication Method has been officially removed from the CBSE Class 10 board exam for 2026-27. Only the Graphical Method , Substitution Method , and Elimination Method are examinable this year. If you find old notes or PDFs teaching cross-multiplication as a "third algebraic method," skip that section for board prep — it may still appear in unrelated reference material, but it will not be tested. 1. Standard Form of a Pair of Linear Equations a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0 Each equation represents a straight line. A "solution" to the pair is the (x, y) point that satisfies both equations simultaneously — geometrically, the point where the two lines meet. ...
