Given :
- 2x - 3y = 19
- 3x - 2y = 21
Find :
We have to find the value of x and y by elimination method.
Solution :
→ 2x - 3y = 19 ____ (eq 1)
→ 3x - 2y = 21 ____ (eq 2)
Multiply (eq 1) with 3 and (eq 2) with 2
→ 2x - 3y = 19 (×3)
→ 6x - 9y = 57 _____ (eq 3)
→ 3x - 2y = 21 (×2)
→ 6x - 4y = 42 _____ (eq 4)
• Subtract (eq 4) from (eq 23)
→ 6x - 9y - (6x - 4y) = 57 - 42
→ 6x - 9y - 6x + 4y = 15
→ - 5y = 15
→ y = - 3
Put value of y in (eq 1)
→ 2x - 3(-3) = 19
→ 2x + 9 = 19
→ 2x = 10
→ x = 5
∴ x = 5 and y = - 3.
________________________________
☆ Verification :
From above calculations we have x = 5 and y = - 3
Put value of x and y in (eq 1)
=> 2(5) - 3(-3) = 19
=> 10 + 9 = 19
=> 19 = 19
Similarly,
Put value of x and y in (eq 2)
=> 3(5) - 2(-3) = 21
=> 15 + 6 = 21
=> 21 = 21
