Question

Solve the eq. 2x + y = 32 and 3x + 4y = 68 find value of x/y

Answer 1

Answer:

the value of X is 12 and y is 8 so X/y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=32 let equation ( 1)

and 3x+4y=68. equation (2)

multiply equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 1

we get

8x -4y =128 let equation be 3

and 3x +4y = 68 equation 4

substracting eq 4 from 3

we get

5x =60 so

X = 12

and putting X =12 in eq 1 we get y =8

so X/y = 12/8

X/y = 3/2
