Chapter 6 - Simultaneous Linear Equations

Exercise Ex. 6(A)


Question 1
Solve the pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by substitution:
8x + 5y = 9
3x + 2y = 4

Solution 1
8x + 5y = 9...(1)
3x + 2y = 4...(2)

(2) y=

Putting this value of y in (2)

3x + 2

15x + 18 - 16x = 20
x = -2

From (1) y = =
y=5

Question 2
Solve the pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by substitution:
2x - 3y = 7
5x + y= 9

Solution 2
2x - 3y = 7...(1)
5x + y = 9...(2)
(2) y = 9 - 5x
Putting this value of y in (1)
2x - 3 (9 - 5x) = 7
2x - 27 + 15x = 7
17x = 34
x=2
From (2)
y = 9 - 5(2)
y = -1

Question 3
Solve the pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by substitution:
2x + 3y = 8
2x = 2 + 3y

Solution 3
2x + 3y = 8...(1)
2x = 2 + 3y...(2)

(2) 2x = 2 + 3y
Putting this value of 2x in (1)
2 + 3y + 3y = 8
6y = 6
y=1
From (2) 2x = 2 + 3 (1)

x=
x = 2.5

Question 4
Solve the following pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by
substitution:

0.2x + 0.1y = 25

2(x - 2) - 1.6y = 116

Solution 4
Question 5
Solve the pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by substitution:
6x = 7y + 7
7y - x = 8

Solution 5
6x = 7y + 7...(1)
7y - x = 8...(2)
(2) x = 7y - 8
Putting this value of x in (1)
6(7y - 8) = 7y + 7
42y - 48 = 7y + 7
35y = 55
From (2) x =
x=3

Question 6
Solve the pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by
substitution:
y = 4x - 7
16x - 5y = 25

Solution 6
y = 4x -7...(1)
16x- 5y = 25...(2)
(1) y = 4x - 7
Putting this value of y in (2)
16x - 5 (4x - 7) = 25
16x - 20x + 35 = 25
-4x = -10

From (1)

y = 10-7=3

Solution is .

Question 7
Solve the pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by substitution:
2x + 7y = 39
3x + 5y = 31

Solution 7
2x + 7y = 39...(1)
3x + 5y = 31...(2)

(1) x=
Putting this value of x in (2)

117 - 21y + 10y = 62


-11y = -55
y=5

From (1) x =
Question 8
Solve the following pairs of linear (simultaneous) equations by the method of elimination by
substitution:

1.5x + 0.1y = 6.2

3x - 0.4y = 11.2
Question 9

Solution 9
Question 10

Solution 10
Question 11
Solve the following pairs of linear (simultaneous) equation using method of elimination by
substitution:
3x + 2y =11
2x - 3y + 10 = 0

Solution 11
Question 12
