Question

Solve for x and y : 2x-y = 5; 3x-5y = 4. Write the value of x-y.

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) x + y =5 and 2x –3y = 4

By elimination method

x + y =5 ... (i)

2x –3y = 4 ... (ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by (ii), we get

2x + 2y = 10 ... (iii)

2x –3y = 4 ... (ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we get

5y = 6

y = 6/5

Putting the value in equation (i), we get

x = 5 - (6/5) = 19/5

Hence, x = 19/5 and y = 6/5

By substitution methodx + y = 5 ... (i)

Subtracting y both side, we get

x = 5 - y
