Solve the following pairs of linear equations by the substitution method.
3x – y = 3
9x – 3y = 9
Solve the following pairs of linear equations by the substitution method.
0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3
0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3
0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3
0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3
The given system of linear equations
0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3 ...(i)
0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3 ...(ii)
From equation (i), we have
0.3y =1.3 - 0.2x
Substituting this value ofy in eqn. (ii) we get
0.4x + 0.5
Substituting this value of x in eqn. (iii), we get
Therefore, the solution is x = 2, y = 3,
Verification. Substituting x = 2 and y = 3, we find that both the equations (i) and (ii) are satisfied as shown below :
0.2a + 0.3y = (0.2) (2) + (0.3) (3)
= 0.4 + 0.9 = 1.3
0.4x + 0.5y = (0.4) (2) + (0.5) (3)
= 0.8 + 1.5 = 2.23
This verifies the solution.
