Solve the following pair of linear equations by the substitution method
s - t = 3
We have
s - t = 3
and
The given pair of linear equation is
s - t = 3 ...(i)
2s + 3t = 36 ...(ii)
From equation (i), we have
s = 3 + t ...(iii)
Substitute this value of s in equation (ii), we get
2s + 3t = 36
⇐ 2(3 + t) + 3t = 36
⇒ 6 + 2t + 3t = 36
⇒ 5t + 6 = 36
⇒ 5t = 30
⇒ t = 6
Therefore, the solution is
s = 9, t =6
This verifies the solution.
