Question
Solve the following simultaneous equation.
2x - y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 11
Advertisements
Solution
2x - y = 5 ...(I)
3x + 2y = 11 ...(II)
Multiplying (I) with 2 we get
4x - 2y = 10 ...(III)
Adding (II) with (III)
3x + 2y = 11
+ 4x - 2y = 10
7x = 21
⇒ x = 3
Putting the value of x in (I) we get
∴ 2x - y = 5
⇒ 2 × 3 - y = 5
⇒ 6 - y = 5
⇒ y = 1

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`

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3. If 5 is added in each numbers, then the ratio becomes 5:7 find the numbers.
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`
