Question

4x +x- y/8 = 17 and 2y + x- 5y +2 / 3 = 2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+x-y8=17 (Given)

⇒ 32x + x - y = 136

⇒ 33x - y = 136 ......(1)

2y+x-5y+23=2 (Given)

⇒ 6y + 3x - 5y - 2 = 6

⇒ 3x + y = 8 .......(2)

Adding equations (1) and (2), we get

33x - y = 136

+ 3x + y = 8

36x = 144

x = 4

Substituting x = 4 in equation (2), We get

3 x 4 + y = 8

⇒ 12 + y = 8

⇒ y = 8 - 12

⇒ y = - 4

∴ Solution is x = 4 and y = - 4
