Q4 of 92 Page 69

Let us solve the following linear simultaneous equations in two variables by the method of elimination:


Rewriting the above equation as.

3x + 2y = 6 (i)


2x + 3y = 6 (ii)


In this problem, we will eliminate ‘y’ from both the equations,


Multiplying equation (i) with 3 and (ii) with 2, we have




Putting the value of x in equation(i)


We have y = 1/2(6 - 3x) or


Hence the solution of the linear equation is and
