Question

solve 2x+y=5 and 3x+2y=8by cross multiplication method ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=5 be an equation 1

3x+2y=8 be am equation 2

multiplying equation 1 by 2,then we get

4x+2y=10 ,let this be an equation 3

eliminating 2 and 3 we get

3x+2y=8

4x+2y=10

--------------

x=2

substituting the value of x in equation 1

4+y=5

therefore y=1

hence,x=2,y=1
