Vikram Kapoor answered |
x - 4y -14 = 0
x = 4y+14
putting this in 5x - y -13 = 0
5(4y+14) - y -13 =0
19y = -57
y = -3
putting y = -3 in x = 4y+14
x = 4(-3)+14
x = 2
so option b is correct

Avinash Patel answered |
Lets,
First digit number = x
Second digit number = y
Number = (x+10y)
A/Q,
x + y = 9 ...................... (i)
A/Q,
(x+10y) = (10x+y) + 27
x + 10y = 10x + y +27
9x - 9y = 27
9(x - y) = 27
x - y = 27/9
x - y = 3 ......................... (ii)
Equation (i) and (ii) we get,
x = 3
Putting the value of x in eq.(i)
we get,
y = 6
Number = (10x +y)
= 10 x 3 + 6
= 30 + 6
= 36

2x will be cancelled
then y will be 1
and when we value of y in equation 1
we get x=8

Kailash mukherjee answered |
To solve this problem, we can use algebraic equations. Let's assume that the smaller number is x.
Given that one number is twice the other, we can express the larger number in terms of the smaller number as:
Larger number = 2x
And the sum of the two numbers is 45, so we can write the equation:
x + 2x = 45
Simplifying the equation, we have:
3x = 45
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
x = 15
Therefore, the smaller number is 15.
So, option C, 15, is the correct answer.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
The equation are y=0 and y=-7
y=0 is on the x-axis and y=-7 is the line parallel to the x-axes at a distance 7 units from y=0
The line will be parallel
if we try to solve these equations we get 0=7 which is absurd.
So the equations are inconsistent.
Therefore there is no solution.

Let the present age of man is x and of son is y.
Six years hence,
Man’s age =x+6
Son’s age=y+6
Man’s age is 3 times son’s age
x+6=3(y+6)
x+6=3y+18
x=3y+12 …...1
Three years ago,
Man’s age =x-3
Son’s age=y-3
Man’s age was 9 times as of son
x-3=9(y-3)
x-3=9y-27
x=9y-24 ….2
From 1 and 2
3y+12=9y-24
6y=36
y=6
x=3*6+12=18+12=30 years
Six years hence,
Man’s age =x+6
Son’s age=y+6
Man’s age is 3 times son’s age
x+6=3(y+6)
x+6=3y+18
x=3y+12 …...1
Three years ago,
Man’s age =x-3
Son’s age=y-3
Man’s age was 9 times as of son
x-3=9(y-3)
x-3=9y-27
x=9y-24 ….2
From 1 and 2
3y+12=9y-24
6y=36
y=6
x=3*6+12=18+12=30 years

Neha Patel answered |
Let us assume x and y are the two digits of the number
Therefore, two-digit number is = 10x + y and the reversed number = 10y + x
Given:
x + y = 12
y = 12 – x (1)
Also given:
10y + x - 10x – y = 18
9y – 9x = 18
y – x = 2 (2)
Substitute the value of y from eqn 1 in eqn 2
12 – x – x = 2
12 – 2x = 2
2x = 10
x = 5
Therefore, y = 12 – x = 12 – 5 = 7
Therefore, the two-digit number is 10x + y = (10*5) + 7 = 57

Alright, we have a system of two linear equations with two variables, p and q. Let's write them down:
1) 2p + 3q = 9
2) p - q = 2
Our goal is to find the values of p and q that satisfy both equations. We can use either the substitution method or the elimination method to solve this system. I'll use the substitution method here.
First, we'll solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for p:
p = q + 2
Now, we'll substitute this expression for p into the first equation:
2(q + 2) + 3q = 9
Distribute the 2:
2q + 4 + 3q = 9
Combine like terms:
5q + 4 = 9
Now, solve for q:
5q = 9 - 4
5q = 5
q = 1
Now that we have the value for q, we can plug it back into the expression for p:
p = q + 2
p = 1 + 2
p = 3
1) 2p + 3q = 9
2) p - q = 2

Now, solve for q:
5q = 9 - 4
5q = 5
q = 1
Now that we have the value for q, we can plug it back into the expression for p:
p = q + 2
p = 1 + 2
p = 3

Amit Sharma answered |
a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 = c1 / c2
2/4 = 3/6 = 5/10
1/2 = 1/2 = 1/2
So, a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 = c1 / c2
When these are equal then it is consistent.
Therefore option (C) is correct .
2/4 = 3/6 = 5/10
1/2 = 1/2 = 1/2
So, a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 = c1 / c2
When these are equal then it is consistent.
Therefore option (C) is correct .

To sketch the graph of pair of linear equations in two variables, we draw two lines representing the equations.
If both the lines intersect at a point, then there exists a unique solution to the pair of linear equations. In such a case, the pair of linear equations is said to be consistent.

y=0 is x-axis… since every point has y=0. y=-7 is a line parallel to x-axis passing through x=0,y=-7. So the two lines are parallel to each other and are inconsistent which means that it has no solutions because it will never meet.

Elimination Method (by Equating Coefficients)
There is another method of eliminating a variable, than often used method i. e --------Suppose you are to solve
23x - 17y + 11=0 ------(1)
and 31x + 13y - 57 = 0 -------(2)
Now expressing x in terms of y would involve division by 23 or 31. Express y in terms of x, it would involve division by 17 or 13. You know that multiplication is more convenient than division, better to convert the division process into a multiplication process.
Multiplying the first equation by 13 viz., coefficient of y in (2), and second by 17 viz., coefficient of y in (1), you will get an equivalent system of equations. The new system has the advantage that y has the same numerical coefficient 17x13 in both the equations. When you add these new equations, the terms containing y would cancel out as these have opposite signs and the same numerical coefficient. Thus, y has been eliminated. Now proceed as before, and solve the system. This method of elimination is also called elimination by equating coefficients for obvious reasons.
Example: Solve the following system of equations using the elimination method by equating coefficients:
11x - 5y + 61 = 0 (1)
3x - 20y - 2 = 0 (2)
Solution: Let us multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 11. This gives
33x - 15y + 183 = 0 (3)
and 33x - 220y - 22 = 0 (4)
Subtracting (4) from (3), you will get 205y + 205 = 0
, or y = - 1
Substituting this value of y in equation (2), you will get
3x - 20 * (- 1) - 2 = 0
or 3x = -18
or x = - 6
Thus, the required solution is
x = - 6 and y = -1.
Now you should verify; substitute x = - 6 and y = -1 in the given equations, you will notice both the equations are satisfied. Hence, the solution is correct

Rajiv Gupta answered |
8 kmph = (8 x 5/18) = 20/9 m/sec
4 kmph = (12 x 5/18 = 10/3 m/sec
18 9
Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.
Then, [x/(y - 20/9)] = 9 and [x/(y - 10/3)] = 10
Therefore 9y - 20 = x and 10y - 100/3 = x
=> 9y - 20 = 10y - 100/3
solving: y = 40/3
putting value of y in (1):
9 . (40/3) - 20 = x
so, x = 100 m
On solving, we get: x = 100.
Therefore Length of the train is 100 m.

Let the numer be x & denom be y..
x+y= 18....(1)
x/y+2 =1/3
3x=y+2
x=(y+2)/3
put this value in eq 1
x+y=18
(y+2)/3+y=18
(y+2+3y= 18x3
4y+2 =54
4y=54-2
4y= 52
y= 52/4
y= 13
put the value of y in eq 1
x+y=18
x+ 13=18
x= 18- 13
x= 5
Hence req. fraction = x/ y = 5/13

Given pair of linear equations:
47x+31y =63 ---(1)
31x+47y =15 ---(2)
multiply equation (1) by 31 and equation (2) by 47
substract (2) from (1) we get
(961 - 2209)y = 63x31 - 15x47
-1248 y = 1953 - 705
-1248 y = 1248
Therefore, y = -1.
Substitute y = -1 in equation (1) we get
47x = 94
So, x = 2.
Hence, The values of x and y are 2, -1.

Solution:
Given, x + 2y = 5 ...(1)
and x + 2y = 7 ...(2)
Subtracting Equation (1) from Equation (2), we get
( x + 2y ) - ( x + 2y ) = 7 - 5
⇒ 0 = 2
The above equation is not satisfied for any value of x and y. Therefore, such values of x and y do not exist.
Hence, the correct option is (d) None of the above.

Given:
3 books + 5 notebooks = Rs 309
6 books + 2 notebooks = Rs 282
To find:
Cost of one book and one notebook
Let the cost of one book be x and the cost of one notebook be y.
Using the given information, we can form the following equations:
3x + 5y = 309 ...(1)
6x + 2y = 282 ...(2)
We can solve these equations using the elimination method.
Multiplying equation (1) by 2, we get:
6x + 10y = 618
Subtracting equation (2) from this, we get:
8y = 336
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
y = 42
Substituting this value of y in equation (1), we get:
3x + 5(42) = 309
3x + 210 = 309
3x = 99
x = 33
Therefore, the cost of one book is Rs 33 and the cost of one notebook is Rs 42.
Hence, the cost of one book and one notebook together is Rs 75.
Answer: Option (a) 75.

Using the given information, we can form the following equations:
3x + 5y = 309 ...(1)
6x + 2y = 282 ...(2)
We can solve these equations using the elimination method.
Multiplying equation (1) by 2, we get:
6x + 10y = 618
Subtracting equation (2) from this, we get:
8y = 336
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
y = 42
Substituting this value of y in equation (1), we get:
3x + 5(42) = 309
3x + 210 = 309
3x = 99
x = 33
Therefore, the cost of one book is Rs 33 and the cost of one notebook is Rs 42.
Hence, the cost of one book and one notebook together is Rs 75.

Damini kumar answered |
Explanation:
Simultaneous linear equations are equations with two or more variables that are to be solved at the same time. These equations can be represented by lines, and the solutions represent the points where these lines intersect.
When two lines intersect at one point, there is only one solution to the system of equations. When two lines are parallel, there is no solution to the system of equations. However, when two lines are coincident, they overlap each other and have infinite solutions.
Example:
Consider the system of equations:
2x + 3y = 6
4x + 6y = 12
We can solve this system of equations by using elimination or substitution method.
Using the elimination method, we can multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation from it to eliminate x, which gives:
4x + 6y = 12
- (4x + 6y = 12)
-----------------
0x + 0y = 0
This equation is always true, which means that the two equations are equivalent. Therefore, they represent the same line, and there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations.
Using the substitution method, we can solve for y in the first equation and substitute it into the second equation, which gives:
y = (6 - 2x)/3
4x + 6((6 - 2x)/3) = 12
Simplifying the second equation, we get:
4x + 4x = 12
Which gives:
x = 3/2
Substituting this value of x into the first equation, we get:
2(3/2) + 3y = 6
Simplifying, we get:
3y = 3
Which gives:
y = 1
Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is (3/2, 1). However, this is just one solution, and there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations since the two lines are coincident.
