Check whether (5,-1) is a solution of the simultaneous equations x - 2y =7 and 2x + 3y = 7. |

Answer» Let x = 5 & y = -1 x - 2y = 5 - 2(-1) = 5 + 2 = 7 (satisfied) ∴ x = 5, y = 1 is a solution of equation x - 2y = 7. Now, 2x + 3y = 2 x 5 + 3 x (-1) = 10 - 3 = 7 ∴ x = 5, y = - 1 is also a solution of equation 2x + 3y = 7 Hence, (5, -1) is a solution of the simultaneous equations x - 2y = 7 & 2x + 3y = 7. |
