Ex 3.2, 1 Solve the following pair of linear equations by the substitution method. (vi) 3๐ฅ/2โ5๐ฆ/3=โ2 ๐ฅ/3+๐ฆ/2=13/6 Removing fractions from both equations ๐๐/๐โ๐๐/๐=โ2 Multiplying both equations by 6 6 ร 3๐ฅ/2โ"6 ร" 5๐ฆ/3="6 ร"โ2 9x โ 10y = โ 12 Hence, our equations are 9x โ 10y = โ12 โฆ(1) 2x + 3y = 13 โฆ(2) From (1) 9x โ 10y = โ12 9x = โ12 + 10y x = ((โ๐๐ + ๐๐๐)/๐) Substituting value of x in (2) 2x + 3y = 13 2((โ12 + 10๐ฆ)/9)+3๐ฆ=13 Multiplying both sides by 9 9 ร 2((โ12 + 10๐ฆ)/9) + 9 ร 3y = 9 ร 13 (2(โ12 + 10๐ฆ) + 9 ร 3๐ฆ)/9=13 2(โ12 + 10y) + 27y = 13ร9 โ 24 + 20y + 27y = 117 โ 24 + 20y + 27y โ 117 = 0 47y โ 141 = 0 47y = 141 y = 141/47 y = 3 Putting y = 3 in (2) 2x + 3y = 13 2x + 3(3) = 13 2x + 9 = 13 2x = 13 โ 9 2x = 4 x = 4/2 x = 2 Hence, x = 2, y = 3 is the solution of equation .
