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 sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` ...(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
∴ x – y = 2 ...(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii)
∴ x = `square`, y = `square`
Ans: The original number = `square`
