Question

X - 2y = 83x = 19 + 4yhow to answer this through elimination or substitution method?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution of the given equations

x = 3 and y =-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

  x - 2y = 8 ..(i)

3x = 19 +4y ..(ii)

By using substitution method

substituting  x = 2y +8 in equation (ii)

 ⇒  3( 2y +8) = 19 +4y

⇒   6y +24 = 19 +4y

⇒  6 y - 4y = 19 - 24

⇒   2 y = -5

   $y = \frac{-5}{2} = -2.5$

Step(ii):-

Substitute 'y' = -2.5 in equation (i) , we get

         x - 2y = 8

   ⇒  x - 2( $\frac{-5}{2}$) =8

  ⇒  x = 8 -5

      x = 3        

Final answer:-

The solution of the given equations

x = 3 and y =-2.5
