Answer :
- Value of x is 5
- Value of y is 1.5
Explaination :
Here we have been given with two equations and we will solve them by elimination by substitution method inorder to get the value of x and y.
- 5x - 4y = 19 (Equation No 1)
- x + 2y = 8 (Equation No 2)
★ From Equation No 2 :-
>> x + 2y = 8
>> x = 8 - 2y
★ In Equation No 1 :-
Substituting here the value of x which we got above as (8 - 2y).
>> 5x - 4y = 19
>> 5 (8 - 2y) - 4y = 19
>> 40 - 10y - 4y = 19
>> 40 - 14y = 19
>> -14y = 19 - 40
>> -14y = -21
>> 14y = 21
>> y = 21 / 14
>> y = 1.5
★ Finding out value of x :-
>> x = 8 - 2y
>> x = 8 - 2 (1.5)
>> x = 8 - 2 × 1.5
>> x = 8 - 3
>> x = 5
