Given equations,
- 4x + y = 11 ..... (1)
- 7x - 2y = 28 ..... (2)
We can write equation (1) as
- y = 11 - 4x ...... (3)
Substitute, equation (3) in (2)
➡ 7x - 2(11 - 4x) = 28
➡ 7x - 22 + 8x = 28
➡ 15x - 22 = 28
➡ 15x = 28 + 22
➡ 15x = 50
➡ x = 50/15
➡ x = 10/3
∴ x = 10/3
Substitute, the value of x in (1)
➡ 4(10/3) + y = 11
➡ 40/3 + y = 11
➡ y = 11 - 40/3
➡ y = (33 - 40)/3
➡ y = -7/3
VERIFICATION :
➡ 4(10/3) + (-7/3)
➡ 40/3 - 7/3
➡ 33/3
➡ 11
∴ Hence, it is verified.
