Let the number of shirts be x and the number of jackets be y. Then equations formed are
y = 4x - 3 ...(i)
y = 5x - 4 ...(ii)
We have y = 4x - 3
Thus, we have following table :
We have y = 5x - 4
Thus, we have following table :
Fig. 3.23.
When we plot the graph of both the equations, we find that the two lines intersect at the point (1, 1). So,x = 1,y - 1 is the required solution of the pair of linear equation i.e., the number of jackets he purchased is 1 and the number ofshirts he purchased is 1.
Represent the following pair of equations graphically and write the coordinates of points where the lines intersect y-axis :
x + 3y = 6
2x - 3y = 12
