2x - y - 4 = 0 and 3x + y - 9 = 0, what is the solution set of the given system?
Solution:
The given set of equations are linear equations with x and y as variables.
To find the values of x and y we need to simultaneously solve the above set of equations.
Rewriting the given equations we have,
2x - y = 4 --- (1)
3x + y = 9 --- (2)
Solving (1) and (2) simultaneously we have
2x - y = 4
3x + y = 9
--------------
5x + 0 = 13
x = 13/5 --- (3)
Substituting the value of x in equation (1) we have
2(13/5) - y = 4
26/5 - y = 4
y = (26/5) - 4
= ( 26 - 20)/5
y = 6/5
Hence, the value of x is 13/5 and value of y is 6/5.
2x - y - 4 = 0 and 3x + y - 9 = 0, what is the solution set of the given system?
Summary
The solution set of the given system 2x - y - 4 = 0 and 3x + y - 9 = 0 is (13/5, 6/5).
