Answer:
x = 6.39, y = 1.69 is the solution of the given equation system.
Explanation:
Here, the given set of equation is:
5 x = 15 + 10 y ⇒ 5 x - 10 y = 15 ...... (1)
3 x +7 y = 31 ............. (2)
Now, the coefficient of x in first equation id 5 and in second is 3.
So, MULTIPLY (1) with 3 and (2) with -5 , we get:
15 x - 30 y = 45
-15 x- 35 y = -155
ADD BOTH EQUATIONS , we get:
15 x - 30 y -15 x- 35 y = 45 - 155
or, -65 y = -110
or, y = 110/65 = 1.69
Put y = 1.69 in 3 x +7 y = 31 , we get:
3(x) + 7 (1.69) =31
⇒ 3 x = 19.17 or x = 6.39
Hence, x = 6.39, y = 1.69 is the solution of the given equation system
