Solve the following simultaneous equations .
x + 7y = 10 ; 3x - 2y = 7
Answers
Answer:
x + 7y = 10; .....(I)
3x – 2y = 7 .....(II)
Multiplying (I) with 3
3x + 21y = 30; .....(III)
3x – 2y = 7 .....(IV)
Subtracting (IV) from (III) we get
23y = 23
⇒y = 1
Putting the value of y in (IV) we get
3x – 2 = 7
⇒3x = 7 + 2 = 9
⇒3x = 9
⇒x = 3
Thus, (x, y) = (3, 1)
