Open in App
Solution

Solve for x and y : 7(y+3)-2(x+2) =14, 4(y-2) +3(x-3) =2
p7(y+3)-2(x+2)=14
=>7y+21-2x-4=14
=>7y+17-2x=14
=>7y-2x=14-17
=>7y-2x=-3------1st equation
4(y-2)+3(x-3)=2
=>4y-8+3x-9=2
=>4y+3x-17=2
=>4y+3x=2+17
=>4y+3x=19------2nd equation
3[7y-2x=-3]
2[4y+3x=19]
21y-6x=-9-------3rd equation
8y+6x=38-------4th equation
by elimination
adding eqation 3 and 4
we get 29y=29
=>y=1
put 'y' is equal to 1 in equation 3
7-2x=-3
-2x=-10
=>x=5
therefore
y=1,x=5
