Find the value of x and y if ( 3x - 2y , 7 ) = ( 11 , x + y ) |
|
Answer» Answer: x = 5 and y = 2 Step-by-step EXPLANATION: When we say (a, b) = (c, d), we mean a = c & b = d. Here, (3x - 2y, 7) = (11, x + y). => 3x - 2y = 11 & 7 = x + y As 7 = x + y => 7 - x = y Subtitute this in other one, => 3x - 2(7 - x) = 11 => 3x - 14 + 2X =11 => 5x = 11+14=25 => x = 25/5 = 5 Therefore 7 - x = y => 7 - 5 = 2 = y |
