Question

x/2 + x-y/3 + 3x-5y/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

The given equations are: 2x – 5y = 8/3 …..(i) 3x – 2y = 5/6 ……..(ii) On multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 5, we get: 4x - 10y = 16/3 …...(iii) 15x – 10y = 25/6 ……(iv) On adding (iii) and (iv), we get: 19x = 57/ 6 ⇒x = 57/ (6 × 19) = 3/6 = 1/2 On substituting x = 1/2 in (i), we get: 2 × 1/2 + 5y = 8/3 ⇒ 5y = ( 8/3 − 1) = 5/3 ⇒y = 5/ (3 × 5) = 1/3 Hence, the solution is x = 1/2 and y = 1/3 .Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/129964/solve-for-x-and-y-2x-5y-8-3-3x-2y-5-6?show=129985#a129985
