Question

The solution of the simultaneous equation x/2+y/3=4 and x+y =10 is given by​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2+y/3 = 4

=> x+(2/3)y = 8........(1)

x+y = 10...............(2)

eqn(2) - eqn(1)

=> y/3 = 2

=> y = 6

from eqn (2)

x+6 = 10

=> x = 4

Therefore, x = 4 , y = 6

hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

let,

x/2+y/3=4 ...1

x+y=10 ...2

now, solve the equations 1, we get

3x+2y=24

now,

multiply equations 2 by 3,we get

3x+3y=30

now, subtract equations 1 in 2 We get

y=6

NOW PUTTING THE VALUE OF Y IN EQUATIONS 2 ,WE GET

X=4

so,

x=4. and y=6
