Solve using substitution method x+y=1,2x-3y=7.

Answer»

Given:

  • Two linear equations are given , which are;
  1. ( x+y ) = 1.
  2. ( 2x-3y )=7.

To Find:

  • To solve the given equations and hence FIND the values of x and y .

Answer:

Given equation are

( x+y) = 1 .................

( 2x - 3y) = 7 ...............

Taking equation (1) ,

\sf{\implies x + y = 1}

\bf{\leadsto x = ( 1-y)}

\rule{200}4

Taking equation (2) ,

\sf{\implies 2x - 3y = 7}

\sf{\implies 2(1-y)-3y=7}

\sf{\implies 2 - 2y -3y=7}

\sf{\implies -5y = 7-2}

\sf{\implies -5y=5}

\sf{\implies y =\dfrac{5}{-5}}

\boxed{\red{\bf{\longmapsto y =(-1)}}}

\rule{200}4

Now putting this value in (1),

\sf{\implies x -1=1}

\sf{\implies x = 1+1}

\boxed{\red{\bf{\longmapsto x = 2 }}}

\rule{200}4

Hence the required values are ,

  • Value of x is 2 .
  • Value of y is (-1).
