Question

Solve 3x - 2y = 6 and x over 3 minus y over 6 equals 1 half

hintHint:

find y by substituting x (in terms of y) in the equation and find x by substituting value of  y in the equations  .

The correct answer is: x = 0 ; y = -3


    Ans :- x = 0 ; y = -3
    Explanation :-
    x over 3 minus y over 6 equals 1 half not stretchy rightwards double arrow x over 3 equals y over 6 plus 1 half not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals y over 2 plus 3 over 2 minus text  eq  end text 1
    3 x minus 2 y equals 6 minus negative text  eq  end text 2
    Step 1 :- find x by substituting x equals y over 2 plus 3 over 2 in eq 2.
    3 open parentheses y over 2 plus 3 over 2 close parentheses minus 2 y equals 6 not stretchy rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 3 y over denominator 2 end fraction plus 9 over 2 minus 2 y equals 6
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow fraction numerator negative y over denominator 2 end fraction equals 6 minus 9 over 2 not stretchy rightwards double arrow fraction numerator negative y over denominator 2 end fraction equals 3 over 2 not stretchy rightwards double arrow negative y equals 3
     rightwards double arrow y space equals space minus 3
    Step 2 :- substitute value of y and find x
    x equals y over 2 plus 3 over 2 not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals fraction numerator negative 3 over denominator 2 end fraction plus 3 over 2
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals 0
     therefore space x space equals space 0
    therefore spacex = 0 and y = -3 is the solution of the given pair of equations.

    Note:
    The equations can be solved in many other ways like substitution
    method which is: to eliminate one variable in any one of the
    equations with the help of other equation. As we need to find the
    value of x, we try to find the value of y in terms of x from one
    equation. Then put that value of y in the other equation to get a linear equation in one variable , which is x.
