Which of the following values of x and y satisfy the following equations i and ii?
i. 3x + y = 19
ii. x - y = 9
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{3}}x + y = 19\,.....(i) \cr
& x - y = 9\,.....(ii) \cr
& {\text{Adding (i) and (ii),}} \cr
& {\text{we get }} \cr
& {\text{4}}x = 28 \cr
& x = 7 \cr
& {\text{Putting }}x\,{\text{ = 7}}\,{\text{in (i),}} \cr
& {\text{we get }} \cr
& 3x + y = 19 \cr
& 21 + y = 19 \cr
& y = 19 - 21 = - 2 \cr
& {\text{Answer is 7, }} - {\text{2}} \cr} $$
