To Solve: The given system of linear equations by elimination.
Answer to Problem 15E
The required solution is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
Multiply Equation 1 by -2 and Equation 2 by 3 so that the co-efficient of y-terms are opposites
Variable y can be eliminated by adding equation 1 and revised equation 2
Divide 7 on both sides:
Now substitute the value of x in equation 1
Add 28on both sides
Divide -3 on both sides
Check
Right hand side of equation 1 is 8
Left hand side of equation 1 is
Substituting the known value and simplify
Left hand side = Right hand side.
Right hand side of equation 2 is -11
Left hand side of equation 2 is
Substituting the known value and simplify
Left hand side = Right hand side.
