Use Substitution to solve each system of equations :
6X - 3Y = -6
Y = 2X + 2
Hint:
find x by substituting y (in terms of x) in the equation and find y by substituting value of x in the equations .If we get a true statement we say they have infinite solutions .If we get the false statement we say they have no solution.
The correct answer is: They have infinite no.of solutions for the given system of equations
Ans :- infinite no.of solutions .
Explanation :-
y = 2x + 2— eq 1
6x - 3y = -6—- eq 2
Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = 2x + 2 in eq 2.
6x - 3 (2x + 2) = -6 ⇒ 6 x -6x - 6 = -6
-6 = -6
Here we get -6 = -6 which is always true i.e always having a root .
They coincide with each other and have infinite no.of solutions
They have infinite no.of solutions for the given system of equations

Solve the system of equations by elimination :
3X + 2Y = 8
X + 4Y = - 4
Let 3x + 2y = 8…(i)
and x + 4y = - 4….(ii)
On multiplying (ii) with 3, we get 3(x + 4y=-4)
⇒3x + 12y = - 12…(iii)
Now, we have the coefficients of in (i) and (iii) to be the same.
On subtracting (i) from (iii),
we get LHS to be 3x + 12y - (3x + 2y) = 12y - 2y = 10y
and RHS to be - 12 - 8 = - 20
On equating LHS and RHS, we have 10y = - 20
⇒y = - 2
On substituting the value of y in (i), we get 3x + 2× - 2 = 8
⇒ 3x - 4 = 8
⇒ 3x = 8 + 4
⇒ 3x = 12
⇒x = 4
Hence we get x = 4 and y = - 2
Note: We can also solve these system of equations by making the coefficients of y

- 3X - Y = 7
X + 2Y = 6
Hint :- find x by substituting y (in terms of x) in the equation and find y by substituting value of x in the equations.
