MATHEMATICSWAEC 2020
Solve 3x - 2y = 10 and x + 3y = 7 simultaneously
- A. x = -4 and y = 1
- B. x = -1 and y = -4
- C. x = 1 and y = 4
- D. x = 4 and y = 1
Correct Answer: D. x = 4 and y = 1
Explanation
3x - 2y = 10 - - x 3
x + 3y = 7 ---x 2
------------------------
9x - 6y = 30
2x + 6y = 14
-------------------------
\(\frac{11x}{11} \frac{44}{11}\)
x = 4
From x + 3y = 7
3y = 7 - 4
\(\frac{3y}{3}\) = \(\frac{3}{3}\)
y = 1
