if 3x+2y=10 and 2x+3y=15 find the value of x-y.
Answers
3x + 2y = 10 ...(i)
2x + 3y = 15 ..ii)
Adding equation (i) and (ii)
3x + 2y = 10
2x + 3y = 15
_________________
5x + 5y = 25
∴ 5 (x + y) = 25
x+y=25/5
∴ x + y = 5
Given:
Two linear equation are given 3x +2y =10 and 2x +3y =15
To Find:
What is value of x and y which satisfied both above equation?
Solution:
3 x +2 y =10 ...1)
2 x +3 y =15 ...2)
Multiply by 3 in equation 1) and multiply by 2 in equation 2), we get:
9 x + 6 y = 30 ...3)
4 x + 6 y = 30 ...4)
Subtract equation 4) from equation 3), we get:
9 x + 6 y = 30
4 x + 6 y = 30
- - -
5 x + 0 = 0
So
x = 0
Putting value of x in equation 1):
3 x +2 y =10
3 × 0 +2 y =10 (put x =0)
2 y = 10
So
y = 5
If 3x +2y =10 and 2x +3y =15 then the value of x and y are 0 and 5.
