Question

If 2x + 3y = 17, 2x + 2 3y + 1 = 5 then value of x and y is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=17 ----------------------(1)

and

2x+23y=4----------------------(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2)

    (2x+23y=4)

-    (2x+3y=17)

 ---------------------

=     20y=(-13)

      y=(-13)/20

Therefore, x=(17-3y)/2

                  x=18.95/2=9.47.
