Solving Linear Equations Using Transpose of Terms

Solve: 3x-y=...

Question

Solve:
$3 x - y = 0$ and $2 x + y = 5$

Open in App

Solution

$3 x - y = 0$
$\Rightarrow y = 3 x$
Substitute $y = 3 x$ in $2 x + y = 5$
$\Rightarrow 2 x + 3 x = 5$
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 5$
$∴ x = \frac{5}{5} = 1$
Put $x = 1$ in $y = 3 x = 3 \times 1 = 3$
$∴ x = 1, y = 3$
