3x + 2y =7 / 4x - y = 2 prove by substitution please help I'm in exam please answer correct
Answers
Answer:
3x+2y=7
4x+y=6⇒y=6−4x
placing in equation (1)
3x+2(6−4x)=7
3x+12−8x=7⇒−5x+12=7
−5x=7−12⇒−5x=−5
x=1
∴ y = 6 - 4×1=2
∴ x = 1, y = 2
you should solve the problem in this manner....so apply the correct values
The value of x is 1 and y is 2.
GIVEN
Algebraic equation-
3x + 2y = 7
4x - y = 2
TO FIND
The values of x and y using substitution method.
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows;
One of the methods of solving algebraic equation is by solving the value of one variable in terms of one variable and substituting its value in another variable.
3x + 2y = 7 (Equation 1)
4x - y = 2 (Equation 2)
Solving equation 2
4x - y = 2
- y = 2-4x
y = -2+4x (Equation 3)
Substituting the value of y from equation 3 and putting in equation 1
3x + 2(-2+4x) = 7
3x -4 + 8x = 7
Adding the like terms
11x - 4 = 7
11x = 7+4 = 11
x = 1 (Equation 4)
Substituting the value of x from equation 4 in equation 3
y = -2 + 4 (1)
y = 2
Hence, The value of x is 1 and y is 2.
