Answer:

x+y=14⇒y=14−x

Substituting this value in the second equation, we get

x−(14−x)=4

2x=18⇒x=9

Substituting this value of x in the first equation, we get

9+y=14⇒y=5

(ii) s−t=3⇒s=t+3

Substituting in 2nd equation

5t+6=36⇒t=6

Substituting value of t in 1st equation

s=t+3=9

Hence all the points lying on the line y=3x−3 like x=2,y=3; are a solution.

(iv) 0.2x+0.3y=1.3⇒x=

1.3−0.3y

Substituting this value in the second equation

1.3−0.3y

+0.5y=2.3

2.6−0.6y+0.5y=2.3

2.6−2.3=0.6y−0.5y

0.1y=0.3⇒y=3

Substituting this value of y,

x=
