Solve 2x+3y=11 and 2x–4y=–24 and hence find the value of ‘m’ for which y=mx+3
2. Solve 2x+3y=11 and 2x–4y=–24 and hence find the value of ‘m’ for which y=mx+3
Solution:
2x+3y=11---------(1)
2x-4y=-24--------(2)
By solving equation (1)
2x+3y=11
3y=11-2x
Y=(11-2x)/3--------(3)
Now substitute y=(11-2x)/3 in equation (2)
2x-4y=-24
2x-4(11-2x)/3=-24
(6x-44+8x)/3=24
(14x-44)/3=-24
14x-44=-72
14x=-72+44
14x=-28
X=-2
Substitute x=-2 in equation (3)
Y=(11-2x)/3
Y=11-2(2)/3=11+4/3=15/3=5
Y=5
Substitute x,y values in y=mx+3
Y=mx+3
5=m(-2)+3
5=-2m+3
-2m=5-3
-2m=2
m=-1
