3x-2y=1
2x-3y=-6
by elimination method
Answers
Answer:
x = 3 and y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution;
Given;
3x - 2y = 1................(i)
2x - 3y = -6.............(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3, we get,
6x - 4y = 2.................(iii)
6x - 9y = -18..............(iv)
Subtracting (iv) from (iii), we get,
6x - 4y = 2
6x - 9y = -18
(-) (+) (+)
_________
5y = 20
5y = 20
or, y = 20/5
or, y = 4
Putting y = 4 in (i)
3x - 2y = 1
or, 3x - 2x4 = 1
or, 3x = 1 + 8
or, 3x = 9
or, x = 9/3
or, x = 3
Hence, x = 3 and y = 4
Given :-
- 3x -2y = 1 ---------(1)
- 2x-3y = -6 ----------(2)
Find :-
- Value of x & y by, elimination method .
Elimination Method:-
Multiply equation(1) with 2 and equation (2) with 3
- 2(3x - 2y) = 2(1)
- 3(2x - 3y) = 3(-6)
We get,
- 6x - 4y = 2
- 6x - 9y = -18
Subtract equation (1) and (2). Eliminate x
We get,
==> 9y -4y = 18 + 2
==> 5y = 20
==> y = 20/5
==> y = 4
Keep Value of y in equ(1)
==> 3x - 2×4 = 1
==> 3x = 1+8
==> 3x = 9
==>x = 9/3
==>x = 3
Hence,
- Value of x = -2
- Value of y = 1
________________
Case(1).
Keep value of x & y in equ(1)
==> 3×3 - 2×4 = 1
==> 9 - 8 = 1
==> 1 = 1
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
______________________
Case(2).
Keep value of x & y in equ(2)
==> 2(3) - 3(4) = -6
==> 6 - 12 = -6
==> -6 = -6
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
