x/2 + y/3 = 2 & x/3 + y/2 = 13/6 using substitutional method
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x is 2 and y is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
……………………..(1)
……………………….(2)
Consider equation
By taking LCM for the denominator 2 and 3 we get the LCM as 6
9x – 10y = -12 ……………………….. (3)
Consider equation 2
By taking LCM for the denominator 3 and 2 we get the LCM as 6
2x + 3y = 13 …………………………(4)
By solving equation (3) and (4) we get
2x = 13-3y
x=13-3y/2 …………………………(5)
Put the value of x in eqn 3 we get
9[13-3y/2] – 10y =-12
117-27y-20y = -24 [By taking LCM and solving it]
117-47y=-24
-47y=-24-117
-47y=-141
Y=-141/-47
Y=3
Now put the value of y =3 in (5)
x=13-3(3)/2
x=13-9/2
x=4/2
x=2
Therefore we have x=2 and y=3

x/2 + y/3 =2 -----------(1)
x/3 + y/2 = 13/6 ----------(2)
from (1)
x/2+y/3 =2
3x+2y/6=2
3x+2y=12
3x=12-2y
x=12-2y/3
From (2)
x/3+y/2=13/6
2x+3y/6=13/6
2x+3y=13/6×6
2x+3y=13
putting value of x
2 (12-2y/3) + 3y = 13
24-6y/3 + 3y =13
24-6y+9y/3=13
24+3y =13×3
3y=39-24
3y= 15
y= 15/3
y = 5
From(1)
putting value of y in (1)
3x = 12-2y
3x= 12-2(5)
3x= 12-10
3x = 2
x = 2/3
