Question

(Sugg eous equations. 3x + 2y = 12 4x – y = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

1 × (3x + 2y = 12)

2 × (4x - y = 5)

3x + 2y = 12

+ (8x - 2y = 10)

= 11x = 22

divide both sides by the coefficient of 'x' (11)

Therefore x = 2

put (x = 2) in equation 1

3(2) + 2y = 12

6 + 2y = 12

2y = 12 - 6

2y = 6

divide both sides by the coefficient of 'y'(2)

Therefore y = 3
