Question

solve the following linear equations x+2y=8;x - 3y=13​

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 10

Y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the linear equation by elimination method

X + 2 Y = 8 eq 1 x 3

X - 3Y = 13 eq 2 x 2

3x + 6y = 24

2x - 6y = 26

(- 6y and 6y gets cancelled being same sign)

5x = 50

X = 10

Substitute x = 10 in eq 1

10+2y = 8 (shifting 10 to right hand side it becomes -)

2y = - 2

Y = - 1
