Question

solve 2x+3y =2000,3x +2y =2500

Answer 1

Answer:

x=700 y=200

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both equations by 2 and 3 respectively

4x+6y= 4000 9x+6y=7500

By elimination method, we get

-5x= -3500

x= 700

y= 2*700+3y=2000

3y= 2000-1400

3y= 600

y=200

Answer 2

Answer:

x=700 and y=200

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=2000*2

3x+2y=2500*3

multiplying by 2 and 3

4x+6y=4000

9x+6y=7500

-5x=-3500

x=700

putting value of x

2*700+3y=2000

1400+3y=2000

3y=600

y=200
