- 3 x - 4y = 162x - 3410 find value of x and y |
|
Answer» ONG>Step-by-step explanation: 2x + 3y = 16…………. (1) 3x + 4y = 23………….. (2) After multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 2, we have 6x + 9y = 48…………. (3) 6x + 8y = 46………….. (4) After subtracting (4) from (3), we have y = 2 Now substitute the value of y in (1) 2x + 3 (2) = 16 2x +6 = 16 2x = 16-6 2x = 10 x = 10/2 x = 5 so we have x=5 and y= 2 Verification::: Substitute the values of x and y in (2) 3x + 4y = 23 3(5) + 4 (2) = 23 15 + 8 = 23 23 =23 RHS = LHS |
