Question

Q.4 Solve by elimination:
3x - y - 7
2x + 5y + 1 = 0​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, the given equations are

3x - y = 7 ...(i)

2x + 5y = - 1 ...(ii)

Now, multiplying (i) by 5 and (ii) by (-1), we get

15x - 5y = 35

- 2x - 5y = 1

On subtraction, we get

17x = 34

⇒ x = 34/17

⇒ x = 2

Now, putting x = 2 in (i), we get

3 (2) - y = 7

⇒ 6 - y = 7

⇒ y = 6 - 7

⇒ y = - 1

Hence, the required solution be

x = 2 and y = - 1
