Question

Solve the following simultaneous equation.

x + y = 11 ; 2x - 3y = 7 

Sum

Solution

x + y = 11     ...(I)

2x - 3y  = 7     ...(II)

Multiply (I) with 3

3x + 3y = 33      ...(III)

Adding (II) and (III)

2x - 3y = 7
3x + 3y = 33
+                  
5x = 40

x = `40/5`

⇒ x = 8

Putting the value of x in (I)

8 + y = 11

y = 11 - 8

⇒  y = 3
