2 x minus 3 Y is equal to 2 and 2x + Y is equal to 13 solve linear equation in two variables by the substitution method
Answers
2x - 3y = 2 ...(1)
2x + y = 13 ...(2)
From Equation (2)
2x + y = 13
y = 13 - 2x ...(3)
put the value of y in equation(1)
2x - 3y = 2
2x - 3(13 - 2x) = 2
2x - 39 + 6x = 2
8x - 39 = 2
8x = 39 + 2
8x = 41
x = 41/8
put the value of x in equation (3)
y = 13 - 2x
y = 13 - 2 × 41/8
y = 13 - 41 /4
y = 52 - 41 / 4
y = 11/4
Hence Solution (x,y) = (41/8,11/4)

Answer: x=5.125
y=2.75
Explanation: 2x-3y=2………….1
2x+y=13…………2
Using substitution method
Make y the subject of the formula in …2
y=13-2x………….3
substitute …3 in …1
2x-3(13-2x)=2
Open the bracket
2x-39+6x=2
Collect like terms
2x+6x=2+39
8x=41
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8=41/8
x=5.125
Substitute x into …2
2(5.125)+y=13
Open the bracket
10.25+y=13
Collect like terms
y=13-10.25
y=2.75
