1. Examples





1. Solve linear equations x+y=2 and 2x+3y=4 using Substitution Method

Solution:
`x+y=2`

and `2x+3y=4`

Suppose,
`x+y=2 ->(1)`

and `2x+3y=4 ->(2)`

Taking equation `(1)`, we have

`x+y=2`

`=>x=-y+2 ->(3)`

Putting `x=-y+2` in equation `(2)`, we get

`2x+3y=4`

`2(-y+2)+3y=4`

`=>-2y+4+3y=4`

`=>y+4=4`

`=>y=4-4`

`=>y=0`

`=>y=0 ->(4)`

Now, Putting `y=0` in equation `(3)`, we get

`x=-y+2`

`=>x=-1(0)+2`

`=>x=0+2`

`=>x=2`

`:.x=2" and "y=0`


2. Solve linear equations 2x+7y-11=0 and 3x-y-5=0 using Substitution Method

Solution:
`2x+7y-11=0`

`:.2x+7y=11`

and `3x-y-5=0`

`:.3x-y=5`

Suppose,
`2x+7y=11 ->(1)`

and `3x-y=5 ->(2)`

Taking equation `(2)`, we have

`3x-y=5`

`=>y=3x-5 ->(3)`

Putting `y=3x-5` in equation `(1)`, we get

`2x+7y=11`

`=>2x+7(3x-5)=11`

`=>2x+21x-35=11`

`=>23x-35=11`

`=>23x=11+35`

`=>23x=46`

`=>x=2 ->(4)`

Now, Putting `x=2` in equation `(3)`, we get

`y=3x-5`

`=>y=3(2)-5`

`=>y=6-5`

`=>y=1`

`:.y=1" and "x=2`


3. Solve linear equations 3x-y=3 and 7x+2y=20 using Substitution Method

Solution:
`3x-y=3`

and `7x+2y=20`

Suppose,
`3x-y=3 ->(1)`

and `7x+2y=20 ->(2)`

Taking equation `(1)`, we have

`3x-y=3`

`=>y=3x-3 ->(3)`

Putting `y=3x-3` in equation `(2)`, we get

`7x+2y=20`

`7x+2(3x-3)=20`

`=>7x+6x-6=20`

`=>13x-6=20`

`=>13x=20+6`

`=>13x=26`

`=>x=2 ->(4)`

Now, Putting `x=2` in equation `(3)`, we get

`y=3x-3`

`=>y=3(2)-3`

`=>y=6-3`

`=>y=3`

`:.y=3" and "x=2`
