Question

Solve the following by using the method of substitution
Y = 4 - X
Y = X - 2

hintHint:

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

The correct answer is: x = 3 and y = 1 is the solution of the given pair of equations


    Ans :-  x = 3 ; y = 1
    Explanation :-
    y = 4 - x— eq 1
    y = x - 2—- eq 2
    Step 1 :- find x by substituting  y = 4 - x in eq 2.
    4 – x =  x – 2 ⇒  4 + 2 =  x + x
    ⇒  6 = 2x ⇒ x  = 6 over 2
    ⇒ x = 3
    Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y
    ⇒ y = 4 – x ⇒ y = 4 - 3
    ∴  y = 1
    ∴  x = 3 and y = 1 is the solution of the given pair of equations
