Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? {x+2y=10y=12x+3

Answer 1

The solution to given system of equations are $(x,y) = (\frac{4}{25} , \frac{123}{25})$

Solution:

Given that we have to find solution to the system of equations

Given equations are:

x + 2y = 10  ------ eqn 1

y = 12x + 3 ------ eqn 2

We can solve the above equations by substitution method

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

x + 2(12x + 3) = 10

x + 24x + 6 = 10

25x = 10 - 6

25x = 4

$x = \frac{4}{25}$

Substitute the above value of x in eqn 2

$y = 12(\frac{4}{25}) + 3\\\\y = \frac{48}{25} + 3\\\\y = \frac{48+75}{25}\\\\y = \frac{123}{25}$

Thus the solution to given system of equations are $(x,y) = (\frac{4}{25} , \frac{123}{25})$
