Question

2x+8y=12. 3x-8y=11 solve

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 23/5 and y = 7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8y = 12 and 3x - 8y = 11 are two given equations

Now,

Step 1:

2x + 8y = 12 ...(1)

3x - 8y = 11 ...(2)

Step 2:

From equation (2) we get the value of x

i.e.,

3x - 8y = 11

3x = 8y + 11

x = 8y + 11/3

Step 3:

Now,

Put the value of x = 8y + 11/3 in equation (1) we get,

i.e.,

2x + 8y = 12

2(8y + 11/3) + 8y = 12

16y + 22/3 + 8y = 12

16y + 22 + 8y(3)/3 = 12

16y + 22 + 24y/3 = 12

16y + 24y + 22 = 12 * 3

40y = 36 - 22

40y = 14

y = 14/40

y = 7/20

Step 4:

Now,

Substitute the value of y = 7/20 in equation (2) we get,

i.e.,

3x - 8y = 11

3x - 8(7/20) = 11

3x - 56/20 = 11

3x - 14/5 = 11

3x = 11 + 14/5

3x = 11 * 5 + 14/5

3x = 55 + 14/5

3x = 69/5

x = 69/3 * 5

x = 23/5
