Answer» i. 2x + y = 5 …(i) 3x – y = 5 …(ii) Adding equations (i) and (ii), 2x + y = 5 + 3x – y = 5 5x = 10 ∴ x = 10/5 ∴ x = 2 Substituting x = 2 in equation (i), 2(2) + y = 5 4 + y = 5 ∴ y = 5 – 4 = 1 ∴ (2, 1) is the solution of the given equations. ii. x – 2y = -1 ∴ x = 2y – 1 … .(i) ∴ 2x – y = 7 ….(ii) Substituting x = 2y – 1 in equation (ii), 2(2y – 1) – y = 7 ∴ 4y – 2 – y = 7 ∴ 3y = 7 + 2 ∴ 3y = 9 ∴ y = 9/3 ∴ y = 3 Substituting y = 3 in equation (i), x = 2y – 1 ∴ x = 2(3) – 1 ∴ x = 6 – 1 = 5 ∴ (5, 3) is the solution of the given equations. iii. x + y = 11 ∴ x = 11 – y …(i) 2x – 3y = 7 …….(ii) Substituting x = 11 - y in equation (ii), 2(11 – y) – 3y = 7 ∴ 22 – 2y – 3y = 1 ∴ 22 – 5y = 7 ∴ 22 – 7 = 5y ∴ 15 = 5y ∴ y = 15/5 ∴ y = 3 Substituting y = 3 in equation (i), x = 11 – y ∴ x = 11 – 3 = 8 ∴ (8, 3) is the solution of the given equations. iv. 2x + y = -2 …(i) 3x – y = 7 …(ii) Adding equations (i) and (ii), 2x + y = -2 + 3x – y = l 5x = 5 ∴ x = 5/5 ∴ x = 1 Substituting x = 1 in equation (i), 2x + y = -2 ∴ 2(1) + y = -2 2 + y = -2 ∴ y = – 2 – 2 ∴ y = -4 ∴ (1, -4) is the solution of the given equations. v. 2x – y = 5 ∴ -y = 5 – 2x ∴ y = 2x – 5 …(i) 3x + 2y = 11 ……(ii) Substituting y = 2x – 5 in equation (ii), 3x + 2(2x – 5) = 11 ∴ 3x + 4x - 10 = 11 ∴ 7x = 11 + 10 ∴ 7x = 21 ∴ x = 21/7 ∴ x = 3 Substituting x = 3 in equation (i), y = 2x – 5 ∴ y = 2(3) – 5 ∴ y = 6 – 5 = 1 ∴ (3,1) is the solution of the given equations. vi. x – 2y = -2 ∴ x = 2y – 2 …(i) x + 2y = 10 …..(ii) Substituting x = 2y – 2 in equation (ii), 2y – 2 + 2y = 10 ∴ 4y = 10 + 2 ∴ 4y = 12 ∴ y = 12/4 ∴ y = 3 Substituting y = 3 in equation (i), x = 2y – 2 ∴ x = 2(3) – 2 ∴ x = 6 – 2 = 4 ∴ (4, 3) is the solution of the given equations. |
