Solve the simultaneous equations y 3x 4y - 5x 14 - WAEC Mathematics 1993 Question
Solve the simultaneous equations y = 3x; 4y - 5x =14
A
.-2,-6
B
2,6
C
2,-6
D
-2,6
correct option: b
y = 3x ... (i);
4y - 5x =14 ... (ii)
Put 3x for y in (ii).
4(3x) - 5x = 14
12x - 5x = 14
7x = 14 \(\implies\) x = 2.
y = 3x = 3(2) = 6
(x, y) = (2, 6)
