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)
