Question

Solve the following by using the method of substitution
2X-3Y=-8
Y=X+3

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 = -1 ; y = 2


    Ans :-x equals negative 1 semicolon space y equals 2
    Explanation :-
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow y equals x plus 3 minus text  eq  end text 1

    2 x minus 3 y equals negative 8 —- eq 2
      in eq 2.Step 1 :- find x by substituting y equals x plus 3 in  eq 2.

    2 x minus 3 left parenthesis x plus 3 right parenthesis equals negative 8 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 2 x minus 3 x minus 9 equals negative 8
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow negative x minus 9 equals negative 8 not stretchy rightwards double arrow negative x equals 9 minus 8
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals negative 1      
    Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow y equals x plus 3 not stretchy rightwards double arrow y equals negative 1 plus 3
    therefore y equals 2


    therefore x equals negative 1 and  y = 2 is the solution of the given pair of equations.
