Find at least 3 solutions for the following linear equation in two variables: 5x + 3y = 4
5x+3y = 4
Take x = 1,
5൱+3y = 4 ⇒ 3y = 4-5 = -1 ∴ y =
Take x = 2,
5൲+3y = 4 ⇒ 3y = 4-10 = -6 ∴ y =
= -2
Take x = 3,
5൳+3y = 4 Þ 3y = 4-15 =-11 ⇒ y =
∴ The three solutions of the given equation are x = 1, y =
; x = 2, y = -2 and x = 3, y =
.
