Question

Solve
for x & y
x+1/2 +y-1/3 =9. x-1/3 +y+1/2=8​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=13 y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1/2+y-1/3=9

3(x+1)+2(y-1)=54

3x+3+2y-2=54

3x+2y+1=54

3x+2y=54-1

3x+2y=53....... (1)

x-1/3+y+1/2=8

2(x-1)+3(y+1)=48

2x+3y=47........(2)

multiply eqn (1) by 3, 9x+6y =159

multiply eqn (2) by 2, 4x+6y =94

_-__-____-____

5x=65

x=65/5

=13

substitute the value of x in eqn ..(2)

2(13)+3y=47

3y=47-26

3y=21

y=7

hence x=13

y=7
