Question

2x+3y=17 , 2x+2-3y+1 =5 by elimination method

Answer 1

$\textbf{Answer :}$

Given that,

2x + 3y = 17 ...(i)

2x + 2 - 3y + 1 = 5

⇒ 2x - 3y + 3 = 5

⇒ 2x - 3y = 5 - 3

⇒ 2x - 3y = 2 ...(ii)

Now, adding (i) and (ii), we get

4x = 19

⇒ x = 19/4

Now, putting x = 19/4 in (i), we get

2 (19/4) + 3y = 17

⇒ 3y = 17 - 19/2

⇒ 3y = (34 - 19)/2

⇒ 3y = 15/2

⇒ y = 5/2

∴ the required solution be

x = 19/4 and y = 5/2
