Question

Solve the following system of linear equations by substitution method:

2x – y = 2

x + 3y =15

Answer 1

AnswEr :-

Here,   2x – y = 2

⟹       y = 2x – 2

⟹       x + 3y = 15

Substituting the value of y from (i) in (ii), we get

           x + 6x – 6 = 15

⟹       7x = 21

⟹         x = 3

From (i), y = 2 × 3 – 2 = 4

∴             x = 3 and y = 4
