Question
By equating coefficients of variables, solve the following equations.
3x - 4y = 7; 5x + 2y = 3
Advertisements
Solution
3x - 4y = 7 ...(I)
5x + 2y = 3 ...(II)
Multiply (II) with 2
10x + 4y = 6 ...(III)
Adding (I) and (III)
3x - 4y = 7
10x + 4y = 6
13x = 13
⇒ x = 1
Putting the value of x in (I) we get
∴ 3x - 4y = 7
⇒ 3 × 1 - 4y = 7
⇒ 3 - 4y = 7
⇒ y = -1
Thus, x = 1 and y = -1

So, let the first number be 2x and the second number be `square`.
From the given condition,
`((2x) + square)/(square + square) = square/square`
`square (2x + square) = square (square + square)`
`square + square = square + square`
`square - square = square - square`
`- square = - square`
x = `square`
So, The first number = `2 xx square = square`
and, Second number = `3 xx square = square`
Hence, the two numbers are `square` and `square`
