solve 3x+2y=29: 2x-y=18
Answers
multiply 5 in equation (1) & 3 in equation (2)
(3x +2y = 29) × 5 --------(1)
(5x -y = 18) × 3-----------(2)
___________
15x +10y = 145
15x -3y = 54
- + -
____________ Now substract
13y =91
y =91/13
y = 7
put the value of y in the equation
3x + 2× 7 =29
3x + 14 = 29
3x = 29 -14
3x = 15
3x = 15/3
X = 5 ANS

Answer:
x = 65/7, y = 4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simultaneous equation.
We will solve this with substitution.
Let's name the equation 3x + 2y = 29, equation 1.
Let's name the equation 2x + y = 18, equation 2.
In this solution we will solve for x, then afterwards we will substitute the value of x in a equation and find the value for y.
First we will make everything have one variable.
Let's solve equation 2:
2x + y = 18
y = 18 - 2x ( subtract both sides with 2x)
Now let's put this value in equation 1.
3x + 2(2x - 18) = 29
Now that there is no 2nd variable, we will solve this like any other linear equation.
3x + 2(2x - 18) = 29
3x + 4x - 36 = 29
3x + 4x = 29 + 36
7x = 65
x = 65/7
Now that we have the value of x, we can put this in an equation and solve.
3x + 2y = 29
3*(65/7) + 2y = 29
195/7 + 2y = 29
2y = 29 - 195/7
2y = 8/7
y = 8/7 * 1/2
y = 4/7
