Section - 5
Solve for the values of both variables in each system of equations using elimination. The explanations will use elimination to solve.
Ques 20: x -y = 4

2 x + y = 5
Ans:
  Notice that the first equation has the term -y while the second equation has the term +y . Because these terms will cancel, we do not need to do any manipulations before adding the equations together:
Solved Equations - Linear Equations | General Test Preparation for CUET
Therefore x = 3 and plugging this back in to the first equation yields:
Solved Equations - Linear Equations | General Test Preparation for CUET
Answer: x = 3 and y = —1

Ques 21: a + b = 8,2a + b = 13
Ans: 
Both equations have the term +b, so we can eliminate the variable b by subtracting the second equation from the first:
Solved Equations - Linear Equations | General Test Preparation for CUET
Hence a = 5. Then, we plug this value for a into the first equation to get (5) + b = 8, or b = 3.
Answer: a = 5, b = 3

Section - 6
Solve for the values of both variables in each system of equations. Decide whether to use substitution or elimination. Explanation will use one of the two methods and explain why that is the better solution method.
Ques 22:
5 x + 2 y = 12
Solved Equations - Linear Equations | General Test Preparation for CUET
Ans: When one of the two equations is already solved for one of the variables, substitution is almost always the better method. In this particular problem, the second equation is solved for y, so we take the right-hand side of this equation and substitute it for y in the first equation:
Solved Equations - Linear Equations | General Test Preparation for CUET
Therefore x = 1. We can now plug this value for x in to either of the original equations to solve for y, but it will be easiest to plug in to the equation that was used for the substitution (after all, it is already solved for y). Hence y = (1/2) x (1) + 3 = 3.5.
Answer: x = 1, y = 3.5

Ques 23: y -1 =x + 2
2y = x + 1

Ans: For this system of equations, either method would be appropriate. Both equations would require some manipulation before we could simply stack-and-add and neither equation is already solved for one of its variables. When neither method seems to have an advantage, pick whichever you like best.
If we use substitution, it is best to solve the first equation for y, giving us y = x + 3, and then substitute this into the second equation:
Solved Equations - Linear Equations | General Test Preparation for CUET
We then plug this into the equation used for the substitution step to get y = (-5) + 3 = -2.
Answer: x = -5 , y = -2
