Find four solutions for the following equation: 2x-3(y-2) = 1
2x-3(y-2) = 1
Take x = 1,
2൱-3(y-2) = 1 ⇒ 2-3y+6 = 1 ⇒ -3y = 1-8 = -7 ⇒ y =
∴ y = 
Take x = 2,
2൲ -3(y-2) = 1 ⇒ 4-3y+6 = 1 ⇒ -3y = 1-10
= -9 ∴ y =
= 3
Take x = 3,
2൳ -3(y-2) = 1
Þ 6-3y+6 = 1 ⇒ -3y = 1-12
= -11 ∴ y =
=
Take x = 4,
2× 4-3(y-2) = 1 ⇒ 8-3y+6 = 1 ⇒ 3y = 1-14
= -13 ∴ y =
=
∴ The four solutions of the given equation are x = 1, y =
; x = 2, y = 3, x = 3, y =
and x = 4, y =
.
