Question

Solve the following pair of equations
(a) 2x +5 y = 25
2x -3 y = 1

Answer 1

Answer:

By elimination method,

2x + 5y = 25

2x - 3y = 1 (-)

----------------

0x + 8y = 24

8y = 24

y = 24/8 = 3

2x - 3y = 1

Substitute value of y

2x -3(3)=1

2x = 1+9= 10

x = 10/2 =5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 25 ---------------(1)

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

by eliminetion method

(1) - (2)

2x + 5y = 25

-

2x - 3y = 1.

___-___+___-_______

0 + 8y = 24

y = 24 / 8

y = 3

putting the value of y in (1)

2x + 5y = 25

2x + 5 * 3 = 25

2x + 15 = 25

2x = 25 - 15

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5
