Question
Solve the following sets of simultaneous equations : 2x + 3y + 4 = 0; x – 5y = 11
✓
Answer
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
$\therefore y=\frac{-26}{13}$
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
$\therefore y=\frac{-26}{13}$
∴ 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.
