Question

3x – 2y = 5
(2x/7 )+(y/2) = - (7/9)

elimination method.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+2y=7 ----- (1)

4x−3y=−2----- (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2, then subtract

9x+6y=21

8x−6y=−4

______________

17x=17

x=1717=1

Put the value of x in equation (1), we get

3x+2y=7

3(1)+2y=7

2y=73

2y=4

y=24=2

Therefore the solution is (1, 2)
