Solve by substitution method
8x+5y=9,3x+2y=4
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given -
8x + 5y = 9
3x + 2y = 4
To Find -
- Value of x and y
By substitution method :-
→ 8x + 5y = 9
→ 8x = 9 - 5y
→ x = 9-5y/8
Now, substituting the value of x on 3x + 2y = 4, we get :
→ 3(9-5y/8) + 2y = 4
→ 27 - 15y/8 + 2y = 4
→ 27 - 15y + 16y/8 = 4
→ 27 + y = 32
→ y = 5
Now, substituting the value of y on 8x + 5y = 9, we get :
→ 8x + 5(5) = 9
→ 8x + 25 = 9
→ 8x = -16
→ x = -2
Hence,
The value of x is -2 and y is 5
Verification :-
- 8x + 5y = 9
→ 8(-2) + 5(5) = 9
→ -16 + 25 = 9
→ 9 = 9
LHS = RHS
And
- 3x + 2y = 4
→ 3(-2) + 2(5) = 4
→ -6 + 10 = 4
→ 4 = 4
LHS = RHS
Hence,
Verified..
It shows that our answer is absolutely correct.
y = 5
x = -2
- 8x+5y=9
- 3x+2y=4
- value of x and y
8x + 5y = 9
8x = 9 - 5y
x = 9 - 5y / 8
3x + 2y = 4
3(9 - 15y/8) + 2y = 4
27 - 15y/8 + 4
27 - 18y + 16y/8 = 4
27 + y = 32
y = 5
8x + 5y = 9
8x + 5(5) = 9
8x + 25 = 9
8x = -16
x = -16/8
x = -2
