Solve the following system of equations 3x + 2y - 5 = 0 and x = y + 10
Solution:
Given, the linear equations are
3x + 2y - 5 = 0 --- (1)
x = y + 10 --- (2)
Now substitute (2) in (1)
⇒ 3(y + 10) + 2y - 5 = 0
⇒ 3y + 30 + 2y -5 = 0
⇒ 3y + 2y + 25 = 0
⇒ 5y + 25 = 0
⇒ 5y = -25
⇒ y = -5
To find the value of x put y = -5 in (2)
⇒ x = -5 + 10
⇒ x = 5
Therefore, the solution is (5, -5).
Solve the following system of equations 3x + 2y - 5 = 0 and x = y + 10
Summary:
The following system of equations 3x + 2y - 5 = 0 and x = y + 10 has solution (5, -5).
