Answer 1

Answer:

Solve the following pair of linear equation by substitution

method: 2x - y = 2, 3x +2y =17

Answer 2

Answer:

X=3

Y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y = 2

-y = 2-2x

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

3x+2y= 17 - - - (2)

Substituting 1 in 2,

3x+2(2x-2)=17

3x+4x-4=17

7x=21

X = 3

2(3)-y=2

6-y=2

y = 4

X is 3 and y is 4
