Open in App
Solution

The given equations are:3x - y = 3 ...........12x - 3y = 2 ...........2x + 2y = 8 ............3Multiplying 1 by 2 and 2 by 3, we get,6x - 2y = 6 .............46x - 9y = 6 .............5Subtracting 5 from 4, we get, 7y = 0 y = 0Putting y = 0 in 4, we get, 6x - 2 × 0 = 6 6x - 0 = 6 6x = 6 x = 1Hence, the point of intersection of 1 and 2 is 1, 0Now multiplying 2 by 1 and 3 by 2, we get,2x - 3y = 2 ...........62x + 4y = 16 .............7Subtracting 7 from 6, we get, -7y = -14 y = 2

putting y = 2 in 6, we get, 2x - 3 × 2 = 2 2x - 6 = 2 2x = 2 + 6 2x = 8 x = 4Hence point of intersection of 2 and 3 is 4, 2Now, multiplying 1 by 1 and 3 by 3, we get,3x - y = 3 ..............83x + 6y = 24 ............9Subtracting 9 from 8, we get,-7y = -21 y = 3putting y = 3 in 8, we get, 3x - 3 = 3 3x = 3 + 3 3x = 6 x = 2Hence, point of intersection of 1 and 3 is 2, 3Hence, vertices of are 1, 0, 4, 2 and 2, 3
