solve 2x+3y=11
3x–y=2
Answers
- x = 17/11
- y = 29/11
Step-by-step explanation:
CROSS MULTIPLICATION METHOD
2x + 3y - 11 = 0 ----(i)
3x - y - 2 = 0 ----(ii)
Here,
a₁ = 2, b₁ = 3, and c₁ = (-11)
a₂ = 3, b₁ = (-1), and c₁ = (-2)
Now,
Now,
---------------
ELIMINATION METHOD
2x + 3y - 11 = 0 ----(i)
3x - y - 2 = 0 ----(ii)
Multiplying 2 and 3 in eq.(i) and (ii) respectively,
3*(2x + 3y - 11) = 3*0
2*(3x - y - 2) = 3*0
So,
6x + 9y - 33 = 0 ------(iii)
6x - 2y - 4 = 0 -------(iv)
Now,
By subtraction, we get,
6x + 9y - 33 = 0
6x - 2y - 4 = 0

------------------------------
11y - 29 = 0
------------------------------
Thus,
⇒ 11y -29 = 0
⇒ 11y = 29
⇒ y = 29/11
Now,
- Putting the value of y in any equation, so we take equation (ii)
⇒ 3x - (29/11) - 2 = 0
⇒ (33x - 29 - 22)/11 = 0
[∵ Taking LCM 11 ]
⇒ 33x - 29 - 22 = 11 * 0
⇒ 33x - 29 - 22 = 0
⇒ 33x - 51 = 0
⇒ 33x = 51
⇒ x = 51/33
⇒ x = 17/11
In Both the equations , eq(1) and eq(2) LHS is equal so RHS Can be equated ,
From eq(2) ,
∴ The Values of x and y are
