In the following question two equations I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and Give answer
I. 4x + 2y = 51
II. 15y + 13x =221
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
I. 4x + 2y = 51
II. 13x + 15y = 221
Multiplying equation I by 15 and II by 2 and by I - II,
\( \Large 60x + 30y = 765 \) -- (1)
\( \Large -26x \pm 30y = -442 \) --(2)
\( \Large => 34x = 323 \)
=> x = \( \Large \frac{323}{34} \) = 9.5
From equation I,
4 \( \Large \times \) 9.5 + 2y = 51
=> 38 + 2y = 51
=> 2y = 51 - 38
=> y = \( \Large \frac{13}{2} \) = 6.5
Clearly, x > y
