Open in App
Solution

The given system of equations is :5x + 6y = -11 ....19x + 4y = 21 .....2ELIMINATION METHOD :Multiply 1 by 2 and 2 by 3, we get10x + 12y = -22 .....327x + 12y = 63 .....4Subtracting 3 from 4, we get 17x = 85x = 5Now, put x = 5 in 1, we get 25 + 6y = -116y = -36y = -6So, x = 5; y = -6 is the solution.

SUBSTITUTION METHOD :Consider 1, 5x + 6y = -115x = -11 - 6yx = -11-6y5 ....3Substitute the value of x from 3 in 2, we get9-11-6y5 + 4y = 21-99 - 54y + 20y5 = 21-99 - 34y = 105-34y = 204y = -20434 = -6Put y = -6 in 3, we getx = -11 - 6 × -65 = -11+365 = 255 = 5So, x = 5; y = -6 is the solution.
