The answer will depend on the nature of the equations and the level of your knowledge.

Probably the simplest way to deal with a general problem is to do it graphically. As long as you can calculate the values of the equations, you can plot them and the solutions are a subset of the points of intersection.

If the equations are all linear and do have a solution then inverting the matrix of coefficients is probably simplest way. In some respects this is like

  • selecting one equation,
  • using it to express on variable in terms of the others,
  • substituting the expression for that variable in all the other equations.

That reduces the number of equations and variables by one. Continue until you have just one variable whose value you can determine. Substitute this value in one of the last two equations and you will then have two known variables. Go back up the line until you have them all.

Is linear algebra and linear equations the same?

Linear Algebra is a branch of mathematics that enables you to solve many linear equations at the same time. For example, if you had 15 lines (linear equations) and wanted to know if there was a point where they all intersected, you would use Linear Algebra to solve that question. Linear Algebra uses matrices to solve these large systems of equations.

How do you apply laplace transform method to solve systems of ordinary DEs?

you apply the Laplace transform on both sides of both equations. You will then get a sytem of algebraic equations which you can solve them simultaneously by purely algebraic methods. Then take the inverse Laplace transform .
