The boundary domain integral equation (BDIE) method provides an alternative formulation to a boundary value problem (BVP) with variable coefficient in terms of integral operators defined on the boundary and the domain. In this paper, we apply two variants of the boundary domain integral equation, the united approach and the segregated approach, to the Dirichlet BVP for the steady diffusion equation with variable coefficient in two dimensions. Details on the derivation of such systems as well as equivalence and well-posedness results are provided. Moreover, we present the discretisation of the two integral equation systems and a comparison of the numerical behaviour of the approximated solutions obtained with the segregated approach and the united approach
