Answer:

1.Therefore the solution of given system is (3,4)

2.Therefore the solution of given system is (-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Given the system

2x +3y =18...........(1)

-2x+5y =14...........(2)

Adding the equation (1) and (2)

2x+3y-2x+5y= 18+14

⇔8y = 32

⇔[tex]y = \frac{32}{8}[/tex]

⇔y = 4

Putting the value of y in equation (1)

2x + 3. 4=18

⇔2x+12 =18

⇔2x = 18-12

⇔2x = 6

⇔x =3

Therefore the solution of given system is (3,4)

2.

Given the system

3x +4y = 5..........(a)

2x +7y =12...........(b)

Equation (a) ×2 - equation (b)×3

2(3x+4y)- 3(2x+7y) = 2.5 -12.3

⇔6x + 8y -6x -21y = 10-36

⇔ -13y = -26

⇔[tex]y=\frac{-26}{-13}[/tex]

⇔y = 2

Putting the value of y in equation (a)

3x +4.2 =5

⇔3x = 5 -8

⇔3x = -3

⇔x = -1

Therefore the solution of given system is (-1,2)
