Solve the following equations 4x - 3 = 3x + y = x - y = 3, 3x + y = 2y + 5x - 12
-
A.
x = 5, y = 2
-
B.
x = 2, y = 5
-
C.
x = 5, y = -2
-
D.
x = -2, y = -5
-
E.
x = -5, y = -2
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
4x - 3 = 3x + y = x - y = 3.......(i)
3x + y = 2y + 5x - 12.........(ii)
eqn(ii) + eqn(i) 3x = 15
x = 5
substitute for x in equation (i)
5 - y = 3
y = 2
