Question
Solve the following equations graphically $\ :x + 3y = 8 , 3x = 2 + 2y$

Answer

$ x+3 y=8$
$3 x=2+2 y$
$x+3 y=8 .....(1)$
$3 x=2+2 y .....(2) $
Now$, x+3 y=8$
$ \Rightarrow y=\frac{8-x}{3}$
Corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ can be tabulated as $:$
$x$ $-1$ $2$ $5$
$y$ $3$ $2$ $1$
Plotting points $(-1,3),(2,2),(5,1)$ and joiniing them$,$ we get a line I$,$ which is the graph of equation $(1).$
Again$, 3 x =2+2 y$
$\Rightarrow x =\frac{2 x+2 y}{3}$
Corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ can be tabulated as $:$
$x$ $2$ $4$ $0$
$y$ $2$ $5$ $-1$
Plotting points $(2, 2), (4, 5), (0, -1)$ and joining them$,$ we get a line $I_2$ which is the graph of equation $(2).$​​​​​​​
Image
The two lines $I_2$ and $I_2$ intersect at the point $(2, 2).$
​​​​​​​ Hence$, x = 2, y = 2$ is the unique solution of the given equation.
