Question

Solve the following by using the method of substitution
Y= 5-2X
Y=fraction numerator 3 X over denominator 2 end fraction minus 2

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 and y = 1


    Ans :-  x = 2 ; y = 1
    Explanation :-
    y = 5 - 2x— eq 1
    y equals fraction numerator 3 x over denominator 2 end fraction minus 2 minus text  eq  end text 2
    Step 1 :- find x by substituting  y = 5 - 2x  in eq 2.
    5 minus 2 x equals fraction numerator 3 x over denominator 2 end fraction minus 2 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 5 plus 2 equals 2 x plus fraction numerator 3 x over denominator 2 end fraction
    ⇒  7x over 2 = 7 ⇒  x over 2  = 1
    ⇒ x = 2
    Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y
    ⇒ y = 5 - 2x ⇒ y = 5 - 2 (2)
    ⇒  y = 5 - 4
    ∴  y = 1
    ∴  x = 2 and y = 1 is the solution of the given pair of equations
