Q5 of 61 Page 27

Solve the following equations by Cramer’s method.

Let,



3x + 3y – 24 = 2x + 4y – 28


x – y = –4 …(1)


Also,


Let


4x + 8y – 56 = 9x – 3y


5x –11y = – 56 …(2)


Hence the two equations are:


x – y = –4 …(1)


5x – 11y = – 56 …(2)


Now,



D = (–11 -(- 5)) = -6


Also,


Dx = 44 - 56 = -12


And,



Dy = –56 + 20 = – 36


Now, 


And, 


Hence, (2, 6) is the solution
