In which quadrant does the solution of the system fall x + y = 4 and 2x - y = 2
Solution:
The given system of equations are:
x + y = 4 --- (1)
2x - y = 2 --- (2)
These equations are linear equations that can be solved simultaneously to determine in which quadrant the solution lies.
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get
x + y = 4
2x - y = 2
--------------
3x + 0 = 6
⇒ 3x = 6
⇒ x = 6/2
⇒ x = 3
Substituting the value of x in equation (1) we get
⇒ 3 + y = 4
⇒ y = 4 - 3
⇒ y = 1
The values of x and y ordinates are (3, 1).
The point (3, 1) lies in the first quadrant.
In which quadrant does the solution of the system fall x + y = 4 and 2x - y = 2
Summary:
The quadrant in which the solution of the system of equations x + y = 4 and 2x - y = 2 lie is the first quadrant.
