Question

x+6/y=6 and 3x​-8/y=5 solve this eq by elimination method
​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6/y=6

By cross multiplication

x+6=6y

x-6y+6=0-(1)

3x-8/y=5

By cross multiplication

3x-8=5y

3x-5y-8=0-(2)

Multiply eq.(1) by 3

So, 3x-18y+18=0

3x-5y-8=0

-. +. +

=> -13y+26=0

=> -13y=-26

=> 13y= 26

y=2

Substituing y=2 in eq.(1)

x-6(2)+6=0

x-12+6=0

x-6=0

x=6
