Question

X+3y=17
3x-2y=-4 what is the answer for this question

Answer 1

The values of x and y are 2 and 5 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations provided is:

x + 3y = 17...(i)

3x - 2y = -4...(ii)

Multiply (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3 and add the resultant equations:

2x + 6y = 34

9x -  6y = -12

__________

11x = 22

x = 2

Substitute the value of x in (i) and solve for y as follows:

x + 3y = 17

2 + 3y = 17

3y = 15

y = 5

Thus, the values of x and y are 2 and 5 respectively.

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2;y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

equations are :

x+3y=17 and

3x-2y=-4

Now multiply first equ. by 3

=3x+9y=51

now subtract second equation form first

9y-(-2y)=51-(-4)

11y=55

y=5

now substitute, y=5 in any of the first equation to get value of x

x+3(5)=17

x=2

ans : x=2;y=5
