Given ,
Equations are.
2x - 7y +41 = 0 ---(1)
- 3x + 5y = 34 ----(2)
Take eq (1)
2x - 7y + 41 = 0
2x - 7y = (-41)
Multiplying both sides with (-)
-2x + 7y = 41 ------ (3)
Compare , eq (2) and (3),
In order to eliminate x we need to multiply eq(3) with 3 and eq (2) with 2
=} eq(3) × 3
= -6x + 21y = (41×3)
= (-6x + 21y = 123)
=} eq(2) ×2
= -6x + 10y = (34×2)
= -6x + 10y = 68
multiply both sides with (-)
= 6x - 10y = -68.
Now compare both equations ;
-6x + 21y = 123
6x - 10y = -68
---------------------
11y = 55
=} y = 5
Now place this y in eq(1)
=} 2x - 7(5) + 41 = 0
2x - 35 + 41 = 0
2x + 6 = 0
=} x = -3
Therefore the values of x and y are (-3) , (5) respectively.
