Question
Solve the following sets of simultaneous equations : 2x – 7y = 7; 3x + y = 22
✓
Answer
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
$\therefore x=\frac{161}{23}$
∴ 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.
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
$\therefore x=\frac{161}{23}$
∴ 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.
