Question

Find the solutions of the form x=a,y=0and x=0 ,y=b for the following equations: 2x+5y=10 and 2x+3y=6. is there any common solution?

Answer 1

x=0 and y=2

Explanation:

We have been given system of equations:

2x+5y=10 (1)

And 2x+3y=6 (2)

Subtract equation (2) from(1) we get:

2y=4

y=2

Now, substitute y=2 in equation(2) we get:

2x+3(2)=6

2x+6=6

2x=0

x=0

Hence, x=0 and y=2
