Question

Solve the following pairs of linear equations by the elimination method.
x+y=5, 2x-3y=4​

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
