i. Substitution Method:
x + y = 4
∴ x = 4 – y …(i)
2x – 5y = 1 ……(ii)
Substituting x = 4 – y in equation (ii),
2(4 – y) – 5y = 1
∴ 8 – 2y – 5y = 1
∴ 8 – 7y = 1
∴ 8 – 1 = 7y
∴ 7 = 7y
∴ y = 7/7
∴ y = 1
Substituting y = 1 in equation (i),
x = 4 – 1 = 3
∴ (3,1) is the solution of the given equations.
Alternate method:
Elimination Method:
x + y = 4 …(i)
2x – 5y = 1 ……(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 5,
5x + 5y = 20 … (iii)
Adding equations (ii) and (iii),
2x – 5y = 1 + 5x + 5y = 20
7 = 21
∴ x = 21/7
∴ x = 3
Substituting x = 3 in equation (i),
3 + y = 4
∴ y = 4 – 3 = 1
(3,1) is the solution of the given equations.
ii. 2x + y = 5 …(i)
3x – y = 5 …(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii),
2x + y = 5 + 3x – y = 5
5x = 10
∴ x = 10/5
∴ x = 2
Substituting x = 2 in equation (i),
2(2) + y = 5
4 + y = 5
∴ y = 5 – 4 = 1
∴ (2, 1) is the solution of the given equations.
iii. 3x – 5y = 16 …(i)
x – 3y = 8
∴ x = 8 + 3y …..(ii)
Substituting x = 8 + 3y in equation (i),
3(8 + 3y) – 5y = 16
24 + 9y- 5y = 16
∴ 4y= 16 – 24
∴ 4y = -8
∴ y = -8/4
y = -2
Substituting y = -2 in equation (ii),
x = 8 + 3 (-2)
∴ x = 8 – 6 = 2
∴ (2, -2) is the solution of the given equations.
iv. 2y – x = 0
∴ x = 2y …(i)
10x + 15y = 105 …(ii)
Substituting x = 2y in equation (ii),
10(2y) + 15y = 105
∴ 20y + 15y = 105
∴ 35y = 105
∴ y = 105/35
∴ y = 3 Substituting y = 3 in equation (i),
x = 2y
∴ x = 2(3) = 6
∴ (6, 3) is the solution of the given equations.
v. 2x + 3y + 4 = 0 …(i)
x – 5y = 11
∴ x = 11 + 5y …(ii)
Substituting x = 11 + 5y in equation (i),
2(11 +5y) + 3y + 4 = 0
∴ 22 + 10y + 3y + 4 = 0
∴ 13y + 26 = 0
∴ 13y = -26
∴ y = -26/13
∴ y = -2
Substituting y = -2 in equation (ii),
x = 11 + 5y
∴ x = 11 + 5(-2)
∴ x = 11 – 10 = 1
∴ (1, -2) is the solution of the given equations.
vi. 2x – 7y = 7 …(i)
3x + y = 22
∴ y = 22 – 3x ……(ii)
Substituting y = 22 – 3x in equation (i),
2x – 7(22 – 3x) = 7
∴ 2x – 154 + 21x = 7
∴ 23x = 7 + 154
∴ 23x = 161
∴ x = 161/23
∴ x = 7
Substituting x = 7 in equation (ii),
y = 22 – 3x
∴ y = 22 – 3(7)
∴ 7 = 22 - 21= 1
∴ (7, 1) is the solution of the given equations.
