Solve for x and y: x – y = 3, x/3 + y/2 = 6

Answer»

The given system of equations is 

x – y = 3 …..(i) 

x/3 + y/2 = 6 ……(ii) 

From (i), write y in terms of x to get 

y = x – 3 

Substituting y = x – 3 in (ii), we get 

x/3 + x −3/ 2 = 6 

⇒2x + 3(x – 3) = 36 

⇒2x + 3x – 9 = 36 

⇒x = 45/ 5 = 9 

Now, substituting x = 9 in (i), we have 

9 – y = 3 

⇒y = 9 – 3 = 6 

Hence, x = 9 and y = 6.

Solve for x and y: 2x + 3y = 0, 3x + 4y = 5

Answer»

The given system of equation is: 

2x + 3y = 0 ……(i) 

3x + 4y = 5 ……(ii) 

On multiplying (i) by 4 and (ii) by 3, we get: 

8x + 12y = 0 ……(iii) 

9x + 12y = 15 …….(iv) 

On subtracting (iii) from (iv) we get:

x = 15 

On substituting the value of x = 15 in (i), we get:

Solve for x and y: 2x - 3y = 13, 7x - 2y = 20

Answer»

The given system of equation is: 

2x - 3y = 13 ……(i) 

7x - 2y = 20 ……(ii) 

On multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3, we get: 

4x - 6y = 26 ……(iii) 

21x - 6y = 60 …….(iv) 

On subtracting (iii) from (iv) we get: 

17x = (60 – 26) = 34 

⇒x = 2 

On substituting the value of x = 2 in (i), we get: 

4 – 3y = 13 

⇒3y = (4 – 13) = -9 

⇒y = -3 

Hence, the solution is x = 2 and y = -3.

18.

Solve for x and y: 3x - 5y - 19 = 0, -7x + 3y + 1 = 0

Answer»

The given system of equation is: 

3x - 5y - 19 = 0 ……(i) 

-7x + 3y + 1 = 0 ……(ii) 

On multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 5, we get: 

9x - 15y = 57 ……(iii) 

-35x + 15y = -5 …….(iv) 

On subtracting (iii) from (iv) we get: 

-26x = (57 – 5) = 52 

⇒x = -2 

On substituting the value of x = -2 in (i), we get:

–6 – 5y – 19 = 0 

⇒5y = (–6 – 19) = -25 

⇒y = -5 

Hence, the solution is x = -2 and y = -5.

19.

8/9 x = -y in linear form is A) 8x + 9y = 0 B) 8x – 9y = 0 C) – 8x + 9y = 0 D) 8x – y = 9

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 8x + 9y = 0

\(\frac{8}{9}\) x = -y

\(\Rightarrow\) 8x = -9y

\(\Rightarrow\) 8x+9y = 0

(8/9)x = -y
8x= -9y
8x+9y =0 (A)

A) 8x + 9y = 0

20.

Solve for x and y: 2x – y + 3 = 0, 3x – 7y + 10 = 0

Answer»

The given system of equation is: 

2x – y + 3 = 0…….(i) 

3x – 7y + 10 = 0 ……(ii) 

From (i), write y in terms of x to get 

y=2x + 3 

Substituting y = 2x + 3 in (ii), we get 

3x – 7(2x + 3) + 10 = 0 

3x – 14x – 21 + 10 = 0 

-7x = 21 – 10 = 11 

x = – 11/7 

Now substituting x = – 11/7 in (i), we have 

– 22/7 – y + 3 = 0 

y = 3 - 22/7 = -1/7 

Hence, x = – 11/ 7 and y = – 1/ 7 .

21.

Solve for x and y: x – y = 3, \(\frac{x}3+\frac{y}2=6\)

Answer»

The given system of equations is 

x – y = 3 …..(i)

\(\frac{x}3+\frac{y}2= 6 \)........(ii)

From (i), write y in terms of x to get 

y = x – 3 

Substituting y = x – 3 in (ii), we get

\(\frac{x}3+\frac{x-3}2= 6 \)

⇒ 2x + 3(x – 3) = 36 

⇒ 2x + 3x – 9 = 36

⇒ x = \(\frac{45}5= 9\)

Now, substituting x = 9 in (i), we have 

9 – y = 3 

⇒ y = 9 – 3 = 6 

Hence, x = 9 and y = 6.

In a hostel mess, 50kg rice are consumed every day. If each student gets 400gm of rice per day, find the number of students who take meals in the hostel mess.

Answer»

Let the number of students in the hostel be x

Quantity of rice consumed by each student = 400 gm.

So, daily rice consumption in the hostel mess = 400 (x).

But, daily rice consumption = 50 kg = 50 × 1000 = 50000gm [since 1 kg = 1000gm].

According to the question,

⇒ 400x = 50000

Dividing both sides by 400, we get

⇒ 400 x/400 = 50000/400

⇒ x = 125

Thus, 125 students have their meals in the hostel mess.

Solve the system of equations: x – 2y = 0, 3x + 4y = 20

Answer»

The given equations are as follows: 

x – 2y = 0 ………….(i) 

3x + 4y = 20 …………(ii) 

On multiplying (i) by 2, we get:
