Question

(3x + 5y = 7 { 4x - y = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

3x+5y=7

and 4x-y=5

Suppose,

3x+5y=7→(1)

and 4x-y=5→(2)

Taking equation (2), we have

4x-y=5

⇒y=4x-5→(3)

Putting y=4x-5 in equation (1), we get

3x+5y=7

⇒3x+5(4x-5)=7

⇒3x+20x-25=7

⇒23x-25=7

⇒23x=7+25

⇒23x=32

⇒x=32/23

→(4)

Now, Putting x=32/23

in equation (3), we get

y=4x-5

⇒y=4(32/23)-5

⇒y=(128-115)/23

⇒y=13/23

∴y=13/23   and x=32/23
