Solve for x and y x+2y=3 3x-2y=-7 |
|
Answer» ong>Step-by-step explanation: x + 2y = 3 x + 2y - 3 = 0 (eqn. no. 1) 3x - 2y = - 7 3x - 2y + 7 = (eqn. no. 2) adding eqn no. 1 and eqn no. 2 (x + 2y - 3) + (3x - 2y + 7) = (x + 3x) + (2y - 2y) + (-3 + 7) = 4x + 0 + 4 = 4x + 4 = 4x + 4 = 0 4x = - 4 x = -4/4 x = - 1 putting the value of x in eqn no. 1 x + 2y = 3 -1 + 2y = 3 2y = 3 + 1 2y = 4 y = 4/2 y = 2 x = -1 y = 2 |
