Question

18. Solution of the Equations x+y=5 and 2x-
3y=4 is
19/5, 6/5
6/5, 7/6
9/7, 19/5
None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

19/5 , 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

By elimination method

x + y =5 ……….(1)

2x –3y = 4 ………(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2, we obtain

2x + 2y = 10 ………..(3)

2x –3y = 4 ………(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (3), we obtain

5y = 6

y = 6/5

Substituting the value in equation (1), we obtain

x = 5 - (6/5) = 19/5

So our answer is x = 19/5 and y = 6/5
