Question
Solve the following simultaneous equation.
x + y = 11 ; 2x - 3y = 7
Advertisements
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

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`
