1. Examples





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

Solution:
`x+y=2`

and `2x+3y=4`

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

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

equation`(1) xx 2 =>2x+2y=4`

equation`(2) xx 1 =>2x+3y=4`

Substracting `=>-y=0`

`=>y=0`

Putting `y=0` in equation`(1)`, we have

`x+0=2`

`=>x=2`

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


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

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

`:.2x+7y=11`

and `3x-y-5=0`

`:.3x-y=5`

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

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

equation`(1) xx 1 =>2x+7y=11`

equation`(2) xx 7 =>21x-7y=35`

Adding `=>23x=46`

`=>x=46/23`

`=>x=2`

Putting `x=2` in equation `(1)`, we have

`2(2)+7y=11`

`=>7y=11-4`

`=>7y=7`

`=>y=1`

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


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

Solution:
`3x-y=3`

and `7x+2y=20`

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

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

equation`(1) xx 2 =>6x-2y=6`

equation`(2) xx 1 =>7x+2y=20`

Adding `=>13x=26`

`=>x=26/13`

`=>x=2`

Putting `x=2` in equation `(1)`, we have

`3(2)-y=3`

`=>-y=3-6`

`=>-y=-3`

`=>y=3`

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


4. Solve linear equations 2x-7y=1 and 4x+3y=15 using Elimination Method

Solution:
`2x-7y=1`

and `4x+3y=15`

`2x-7y=1 ->(1)`

`4x+3y=15 ->(2)`

equation`(1) xx 2 =>4x-14y=2`

equation`(2) xx 1 =>4x+3y=15`

Substracting `=>-17y=-13`

`=>17y=13`

`=>y=13/17`

Putting `y=13/17 ` in equation `(2)`, we have

`4x+3(13/17)=15`

`=>4x=15-(39/17)`

`=>4x=(255-39)/17`

`=>4x=216/17`

`=>x=54/17`

`:.x=54/17" and "y=13/17`
