Question

) Complete the following activity to solve the simultaneous
equations 2x + y = 14 and 2x - 3y = - 10.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Disclaimer: There is error in the Q. In (II) there should have been 2x - 3y = 12

5x + 3y = 9 -----(I)

2x - 3y = 12 ----- (II)

Add (I) and (II)

7x = 21

x = 3

Putting the value of x = 3 in (I) we get

5(3)+3y=9⇒15+3y=9⇒3y=9-15=-6⇒y=-2

Thus, (x, y) = (3, -6).

Answer 2

Answer:

xy +2=14 and xy - 2=10

2+14=16. 16-2-10=4
