Solve 0.2x + 0.3y = 2.1;0.4x + 0.5y = 3.7 by substitution method.
Answers
Ans---> x = 3 and y = 5
Given---> 0.2x + 0.3y = 2.1
0.4x + 0.5y = 3.7
To find ---> Value of x and y .
Solution--->
0.2x + 0.3y = 2.1
Multiplying whole equation by 10, we get
=> 10 × 0.2x + 10 × 0.3y = 10 × 2.1
=> 2x + 3y = 21
=> 2x = 21 - 3y
=> x = (21 - 3y) / 2 -------------(1)
Now taking second equation,
0.4x + 0.5y = 3.7
Multiplying whole equation by 10 , we get,
=> 10 × 0.4x + 10 × 0.5y = 10 × 3.7
=> 4x + 5y = 37
Putting x = ( 21 - 3y ) / 2 in it , we get,
=> 4 ×( 21 - 3y ) / 2 + 5y = 37
=> 2 ( 21 -3y ) + 5y = 37
=> 42 - 6y + 5y = 37
=> - y = 37 - 42
=> - y = - 5
=> y = 5
Now putting y = 25 in (1), we get
=> x = ( 21 - 3y ) / 2
= { 21 - 3 ( 5 ) } / 2
= (21 - 15 ) / 2
= ( 6 / 2 )
x = 3
x=3 and y=5
