1. Complete the following activity to solve the simultaneous equations.

5x + 3y = 9 ……. (i)
2x + 3y = 12 ……… (ii)

Solution:

Given

5x + 3y = 9 ……. (i)

2x + 3y = 12 ……… (ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get,

(5x + 3y) – (2x + 3y) = 9 – 125x – 2x + 3y – 3y

= -33x = -3x = -1

Putting the value of x in equation (i),

5(-1) + 3y = 9-5 + 3y = 93y = 14y = 14/3

Let’s add equations (I) and (II).

Hence, x = -1 and y = 14/3 is the solution of the equation.

2. Solve the following simultaneous equation.

(1) 3a + 5b = 26; a + 5b = 22

Solution:

3a + 5b = 26 …… (i)

a + 5b = 22 ……… (ii)

Now by changing the sign of equation (ii) we get

– a – 5b = – 22

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i) we get

2a = 4

a = 4/2

a = 2

Substituting a = 2 in equation (ii) we get

2 + 5b = 22

5b = 22 – 2

5b = 20

b = 20/5

b = 4

∴ solution is (a, b) = (2, 4)

(2) x + 7y = 10; 3x – 2y = 7

Solution:

Given

x + 7y = 10 ……. (i)

x – 2y = 7 ……… (ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 2 and equation (ii) by 7

2x + 14 y = 20

21x – 14 y = 49

Which implies

23 x = 69

x = 69/23

x = 3

Substituting x = 3 in equation (i)

3 + 7y = 10

7y = 10 – 3

7y = 7

y = 7/7

y = 1

∴ Solution is (x, y) = (3, 1)

(3)
2x – 3y = 9; 2x + y = 13

Solution:

Given

2x – 3y = 9 …… (i)

2x + y = 13 …… (ii)

To subtract equation (ii) from (i)

Change the sign of equation (ii)

2x – 3y = 9

-2x – y = – 13

Which implies

– 4y = – 4

y = 4/4

y = 1

Substituting y = 1 in equation (ii)

2x + 1 = 13

2x = 13 – 12x = 12x = 6

∴ solution is (x, y) = (1, 6)

(4) 5m – 3n = 19; m – 6n = –7

Solution:

Given

5m – 3n = 19 …… (i)

m – 6n = –7 …. (ii)

Multiply equation (ii) by 5

5m – 30n = -35 …. (iii)

Equating (i) and (iii), change the sign of equation (iii)

5m – 3n = 19

– 5m + 30 n = 35

Adding both we get

27n = 54

n = 54/27

⇒ n = 2

Substituting n = 2 in equation (i)

⇒ 5m – 3(2) = 19

⇒ 5m – 6 = 19

⇒ 5m = 25

⇒ m = 5

∴ Solution is (m, n) = (5, 2)

(5) 5x + 2y = –3; x + 5y = 4

Solution:

5x + 2y = – 3 …. (i)

x + 5y = 4 …… (ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 5 and equation (ii) by 2

25 x + 10 y = -15 …. (iii)

2x + 10 y = 8 …. (iv)

Change sign of equation (iv)

25 x + 10 y = -15

– 2x – 10 y = – 8

23 x = -23

x = -1

Substituting x = –1 in equation (ii)

– 1 + 5y = 4

5y = 4 + 1

5y = 5

Y = 1

∴ solution is (x, y) = (–1, 1)

(6)

Solution:

(7) 99x + 101 y = 499; 101x + 99y = 501

Solution:

(8) 49x – 57y = 172; 57x – 49y = 252

Solution:

ii. Put value y = 5 in equation (i)

We get, x = 3 – 5

⇒ x = -2

iii. Put value y = 3 in equation (i)

We get, x = 3 – 3

Now the table becomes,

(2) Given

x – y = 4 ……. (ii)

i. Put value y = 0 in equation (ii)

we get, x = 4 – 0

⇒ x = 4

ii. Put value x = –1 in equation (ii)

we get, – y = 5

iii. Put value y = –4 in equation (ii)

we get, x = 4 + 4

⇒ x = 8

3. Solve the following simultaneous equation graphically.
(1) 2x + 3y = 12; x – y = 1

Solution:

Given

2x + 3y = 12

Substitute the values for x as shown in the table

Consider x – y = 1

Now plot the graph as shown below:

(2) x – 3y = 1; 3x – 2y + 4 = 0

Now plot the graph as shown below:

(4) 3x – y – 2 = 0; 2x + y = 8

Solution:

For equation 1, let’s find the points for graph

3x – y – 2 = 0

At x = 0

3(0) – y – 2 = 0

⇒ y = -2

At x = 13

(1) – y – 2 = 0

⇒ y = 1At x = 2

3(2) – y – 2 = 0

⇒ 6 – y – 2 = 0⇒ y =4

Hence, points for graph are (0, -1) (1, 1) and (2, 4)

For equation 22x + y = 8

At x = 0y = 8

at x = 12

(1) + y = 8

⇒ y = 6

at x =42(4) + y = 8

⇒ y = 0

Hence, points for graph are (0, 8) (1, 6) and (4, 0)

From graph, we observe both lines intersect at (2, 4)

Hence, x = 2 y = 4 is the solution of given pair
