Question

The values of ‘x’ and ‘y’ which satisfy the linear equation 2x + 3y = 16 are
A. x = 5, y = 2 B. x = 2, y = 5
C. x = −5, y = −2 D. x = −5, y = 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x and y values in the given equation

1. 2(5)+3(2)=16

Multiply 2 with5 & 3 with 2

=10 + 6 = 16

now yo add

= 16 = 16

Therefore 2x+3y=16

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A. x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=5

2x+3y=16

2(5)+3y=16

10+3y=16

3y=16-10

3y=6

y=6/3

y=2
