Question

Solve: 2 x plus y equals 1 semicolon 3 x minus 4 y equals 18 by using substitution method.

hintHint:

find x by substituting y (in terms of x) in the equation and find y by substituting value of  x in the equations  .

The correct answer is: x = 2 ; y = -3


    Ans :- x = 2 ; y = -3
    Explanation :-
    2 x plus y equals 1 not stretchy rightwards double arrow y equals 1 minus 2 x— eq 1
    3 x minus 4 y equals 18 —eq 2
    Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = 1-2x in eq 2.
    3 x minus 4 left parenthesis 1 minus 2 x right parenthesis equals 18 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 3 x minus 4 plus 8 x equals 18
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 11 x minus 4 equals 18 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 11 x equals 22
     rightwards double arrow x space equals space 2
    Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 3 x minus 4 y equals 18 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 3 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis minus 4 y equals 18
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 4 y equals 6 minus 18 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 4 y equals negative 12
     therefore space y space equals space minus 3
    therefore space x space equals space 2 and y = -3 is the solution of the given pair of equations.

    table attributes columnspacing 1em end attributes row cell left parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis y minus 3 right parenthesis squared equals 40 end cell row cell y equals negative 2 x plus 4 end cell end table
    Which of the following could be the x-coordinate of a solution to the system of equations above?

    Note:
    If we had to find the y-coordinate of the system of equations, then we put this value of x in the equation y equals negative 2 x plus 4 to get the value of y. Here, we got a quadratic equation of x, which did not have any term containing x, so it was easier to solve. If the quadratic equation was of the form  a x squared plus b c plus c equals 0, then we would use the quadratic formula  x equals fraction numerator negative b plus-or-minus square root of b squared minus 4 a c end root over denominator 2 a end fraction to solve the equation.

    2000 minus 61 k equals 48
    In 1962, the population of a bird species was 2,000. The population k years after 1962 were 48, and k satisfies the equation above. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the number 61 in this
    context?

    Note:
    This question could also be solved by eliminating the options. Option A is wrong as the population k years after 1962 is 48, not 61. Option B is wrong because we find the value of k to be 32. Option C is wrong because the difference between the population in 1962 and the population years after 1962 is given by 2000-48=1952.
