slove the following pair of equations by elimination method 2x+3y=12 and 3x+2y=13
Answers
X=3,y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
so the answer is x=3,y=2
Answer: x = 3, y = 2
Hiii...
2x + 3y = 12
3x + 2y = 13
Now to eliminate x, we need to make the value next to x the same, so we can multiply the first equation by 3 and multiply the second equation by 2
6x + 9y = 36
6x + 4y = 26
Now we will subtract the first equation from the second
(6x - 6x) + (4y - 9y) = (26-36)
0 + (-5y) = (-10)
-5y = -10
5y = 10 (when there is 2 negative sign, it becomes positive)
y = 10/5
y = 2
Now that we have y, we can substitute it in any of the equations
2x + 3y = 12
2x + 3(2) = 12
2x + 6 = 12
2x = 12 - 6
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3
Therefore, the value of x is 3 and the value of y is 2
x = 3
y = 2
Hope this was easy to follow
I hope we come across each other again
Thank You and Have a Great Day/Night :D
