Question
Solve the following simultaneous equation.
2x + y = -2 ; 3x - y = 7
Advertisements
Solution
2x + y = -2 ...(I)
3x - y = 7 ...(II)
Adding (I) and (II)
5x = 5
⇒ x = 1
Putting the value of x in (I)
2 × 1 + y = -2
⇒ 2 + y = -2
⇒ y = - 4

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3.
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`
