the solution of linear pairs of equations 5x+2y=16 and7x-4y=2
Answers
Given equations :-
- 5x + 2y = 16
- 7x - 4y = 2
Solution :-
Multiply throughout equation 1 by 2,
2 × 5x + 2 × 2y = 2 × 16
10x + 4y = 32 -----> 3
Solve equations 2 and 3 simultaneously by elimination method.
Add equation 3 to 2,
10x + 4y = 32
7x - 4y = 2
----------------
17x = 34
x =
Substitute x = 2 in equation 1,
5x + 2y = 16 ---->1
5 (2) + 2y = 16
10 + 2y = 16
2y = 16 - 10
2y = 6
y =
For equations 1:-
- 5x + 2y = 16
Plug the values of x and y in the equation,
5 (2) + 2(3) = 16
10 + 6 = 16
16 = 16
LHS = RHS.
First equation is verified.
For second equation :-
- 7x - 4y = 2
Repeat the same procedure, plug the values of x and y in the above equation.
7 ( 2) - 4( 3) = 2
14 - 12 = 2
2 = 2
LHS = RHS.
Both the answers are right as per the verification!
