Q10 of 71 Page 68

The solution set of 2x + y = 6 and 4x + 2y = 5 is

Given: 2x + y = 6 and 4x + 2y = 5


Change the given equations to the form,


a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 …(i)


⇒ 2x + y – 6 = 0


And


4x + 2y – 5 = 0


On comparing with (i) we get,


a1 = 2,


b1 = 1,


c1 = – 6;


a2 = 4,


b2 = 2,


c2 = – 5;





This means that the equations are inconsistent and have no solution.
