Solve the following systems by solving one of the equations
Solution
13) x+3y = 4 ----(1)
x -2y = -1 ----(2)
x +3y =4
x= -1 +2y
-1 +2y +3y =4 ----> 5y = 5 ; y =1
x +3*1 = 4 ---> x =1
(x, y) = ( 1, 1)
14 ) x - y = 5 ----(1)
x+2y = -1 ----(2)
from equation x= 5+y
5+y +2y =-1 ; 3y = -6 ; y = -2
x= 5+y = 5 -2 =3
(x, y) ---> ( 3, -2)
15) 2x +y =1 ----(1)
x - 2y = -1 -----(2)
from equation : x= -1 +2y
2(-1+2y) +y =1
-2 +4y +y =1 ; 5y = 3
y = 3/5
x= -1+2*3/5 = 1/5
(x, y) ---( 1/5 , 3/5)
16) 2x - 2y = 2 ----(1)
x - 3y = -7 ----(2)
from equation 2 : x= -7 +3y
substitute in equation (1) : 2(-7 +3y) - 2y =2
-14 +6y -2y = 2
4y = 16 ;y =4
x = -7 +3*4 = 5
Solution (x, y) = (5, 4)
