Given, pair of linear equations:
x/3 + y/4 = 11 ………..(1)
5x/6 - y/3 = - 7 …………(2)
Substitution method is used to solve this Linear pair of Equations.
This equations can be written as :
From eq 1 :
(4x + 3y)/12 = 11
4x + 3y = 11 × 12
4x + 3y = 132 ………(3)
From eq 2 :
(5x - 2y)/6 = - 7
5x - 2y = -7 × 6
5x - 2y = - 42 ………(4)
From eq (3) :
4x = 132 - 3y
x = (132 - 3y)/4 ………..(5)
On Substituting the value of x in equation (4) we obtain :
5x - 2y = - 42
5(132 - 3y)/4 - 2y = - 42
(660 - 15y)/4 - 2y = - 42
660 - 15y - 8y = - 42 × 4
660 - 23y = - 168
-23y = - 168 - 660
- 23y = - 828
y = 828/23
y = 36
On putting y = 36 in eq (5) we get,
x = (132 - 3y)/4
x = (132 - 3 × 36)/4
x = (132 - 108)/4
x = 24/4
x = 6
Hence the solution of the given system of equation is x = 6 and y = 36.
Hope this answer will help you…
