ML Aggarwal Simultaneous Linear Equations Exe-5.2 Class 9 ICSE Maths  Solutions

Solve the following systems of simultaneous linear equations by the elimination method (1 to 9):

Question 1.

(i) 3x + 4y = 10

2x – 2y = 2

(ii) 2x = 5y + 4

3x – 2y + 16 = 0

Answer :

(i) 3x + 4y = 10 ….. (1)

2x – 2y = 2 ….. (2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 1 and (2) by 2

3x + 4y = 10

4x – 4y = 4

By adding both the equations

7x = 14

By division

x = 14/7 = 2

Substituting the value of x in equation (2)

2 × 2 – 2y = 2

By further calculation

4 – 2y = 2

So we get

2y = 4 – 2 = 2

y = 2/2 = 1

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 1.

(ii) 2x = 5y + 4

3x – 2y + 16 = 0

We can write it as

2x – 5y = 4 …. (1)

3x – 2y = – 16 ….. (2)

Now multiply equation (1) by 3 and (2) by 2

6x – 15y = 12 ….. (3)

6x – 4y = – 32 ….. (4)

By subtracting both the equations

– 11y = 44

y = -44/11 = – 4

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

2x – 5 (-4) = 4

By further calculation

2x + 20 = 4

So we get

2x = 4 – 20 = – 16

x = – 16/2 = – 8

Therefore, x = – 8 and y = – 4.

Question 2.

(i) ¾ x – 2/3 y = 1

3/8 x – 1/6 y = 1

(ii) 2x – 3y – 3 = 0

2x/3 + 4y + ½ = 0.

Answer :

(i) ¾ x – 2/3 y = 1

3/8 x – 1/6 y = 1

We can write it as

¾ x – 2/3 y = 1

(9x – 8y)/ 12 = 1

By cross multiplication

9x – 8y = 12 ….. (1)

3/8 x – 1/6 y = 1

(9x – 4y)/ 24 = 1

By cross multiplication

9x – 4y = 24 ….. (2)

Subtracting equations (1) and (2)

– 4y = – 12

By division

y = – 12/ – 4 = 3

Substitute the value of y in (1)

9x – 8 × 3 = 12

By further calculation

9x – 24 = 12

9x = 12 + 24 = 36

By division

x = 36/ 9 = 4

Therefore, x = 4 and y = 3.

(ii) 2x – 3y – 3 = 0

2x/3 + 4y + ½ = 0

We can write it as

2x – 3y – 3 = 0

2x – 3y = 3 ….. (1)

2x/3 + 4y + ½ = 0

2x/3 + 4y = – ½

Taking LCM

(2x + 12y)/ 3 = – ½

By cross multiplication

2 (2x + 12y) = – 1 × 3

So we get

4x + 24y = – 3 …. (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2

4x – 6y = 6

4x + 24y = – 3

By subtracting both the equations

– 30y = 9

So we get

y = -9/30 = – 3/10

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

2x – 3 (-3/10) = 3

By further calculation

2x + 9/10 = 3

We can write it as

2x = 3 – 9/10

By taking LCM

2x = (30 – 9)/ 10

So we get

2x = 21/10

x = 21/20

Therefore, x = 21/20 and y = – 3/10.

Question 3.

(i) 15x – 14y = 117

14x – 15y = 115

(ii) 41x + 53y = 135

53x + 41y = 147.

Answer :

(i) 15x – 14y = 117 ….. (1)

14x – 15y = 115 ….. (2)

Now multiply equation (1) by 14 and (2) by 15

210x – 196y = 1638 …. (3)

210x – 225y = 1725 ….. (4)

By subtracting both the equations

29y = – 87

So we get

y = -87/29 = – 3

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

15x – 14 (-3) = 117

By further calculation

15x + 42 = 117

So we get

15x = 117 – 42 = 75

By division

x = 75/15 = 5

Therefore, x = 5 and y = – 3.

(ii) 41x + 53y = 135 ….. (1)

53x + 41y = 147 ….. (2)

Now multiply equation (1) by 53 and (2) by 41

2173x + 2809y = 7155 ….. (3)

2173x + 1681y = 6027 ….. (4)

By subtracting both the equations

1128y = 1128

So we get

y = 1128/1128 = 1

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

41x + 53 × 1 = 135

By further calculation

41x + 53 = 135

So we get

41x = 135 – 53 = 82

By division

x = 82/41 = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 1.

Question 4.

(i) x/6 = y – 6

3x/4 = 1 + y

(ii) x – 2/3 y = 8/3

2x/5 – y = 7/5.

Answer :

(i) x/6 = y – 6

3x/4 = 1 + y

We can write it as

x = 6 (y – 6)

x = 6y – 36

x – 6y = – 36 ….. (1)

3x/4 = 1 + y

By cross multiplication

3x = 4 (1 + y)

So we get

3x = 4 + 4y

3x – 4y = 4 …. (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 3

3x – 18y = – 108

3x – 4y = 4

Subtracting both the equations

– 14y = – 112

So we get

y = – 112/- 14 = 8

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

x – 6 × 8 = – 36

By further calculation

x – 48 = – 36

x = – 36 + 48

x = 12

Therefore, x = 12 and y = 8.

(ii) x – 2/3 y = 8/3

2x/5 – y = 7/5

We can write it as

x – 2/3 y = 8/3

Taking LCM

(3x – 2y)/ 3 = 8/3

By cross multiplication

3x – 2y = 8/3 × 3 = 8

3x – 2y = 8 ….. (1)

2x/5 – y = 7/5

Taking LCM

(2x – 5y)/ 5 = 7/5

By cross multiplication

2x – 5y = 7/5 × 5 = 7

2x – 5y = 7 …… (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and (2) by 3

6x – 4y = 16 ….. (3)

6x – 15y = 21 …… (4)

Subtracting both the equations

11y = – 5

y = – 5/11

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

3x – 2 (-5/11) = 8

By further calculation

3x + 10/11 = 8

We can write it as

3x = 8 – 10/11

Taking LCM

3x = (88 – 10)/ 11 = 78/11

By cross multiplication

x = 78/ (11 × 3) = 26/11

Therefore, x = 26/11 and y = – 5/11.

Question 5.

(i) 9 – (x – 4) = y + 7

2 (x + y) = 4 – 3y

(ii) 2x + (x – y)/ 6 = 2

x – (2x + y)/3 = 1.

Answer :

(i) 9 – (x – 4) = y + 7

2 (x + y) = 4 – 3y

We can write it as

9 – (x – 4) = y + 7

9 – x + 4 = y + 7

By further calculation

13 – x = y + 7

– x – y = 7 – 13 = – 6

x + y = 6 ….. (1)

2 (x + y) = 4 – 3y

2x + 2y = 4 – 3y

By further calculation

2x + 2y + 3y = 4

So we get

2x + 5y = 4 ….. (2)

Now multiply equation (1) by 5 and (2) by 1

5x + 5y = 30

2x + 5y = 4

By subtracting both the equations

3x = 26

So we get

x = 26/3

Substitute the value of x in (1)

26/3 + y = 6

We can write it as

y = 6 – 26/3

Taking LCM

y = (18 – 26)/3

So we get

y = – 8/3

Therefore, x = 26/3 and y = – 8/3.

(ii) 2x + (x – y)/ 6 = 2

x – (2x + y)/3 = 1

2x + (x – y)/ 6 = 2

Multiply by 6

12x + x – y = 12

By further calculation

13x – y = 12 …… (2)

x – (2x + y)/3 = 1

Multiply by 3

3x – 2x – y = 3

By further calculation

x – y = 3 …… (2)

So we get

x = 3 + y ….. (3)

Substitute the value of x in (1)

13 (3 + y) – y = 12

By further calculation

39 + 13y – y = 12

So we get

12y = 12 – 39 = – 27

By division

y = – 27/12 = – 9/4

Substitute the value of y in (3)

x = 3 + y

x = 3 + (-9)/4

By further calculation

x = 3 – 9/4

Taking LCM

x = (12 – 9)/ 4

x = ¾

Therefore, x = ¾ and y = – 9/4.

Question 6. x – 3y = 3x – 1 = 2x – y.

Answer :

It is given that

x – 3y = 3x – 1 = 2x – y

Here

x- 3y = 3x – 1

x – 3x – 3y = – 1

By further calculation

– 2x – 3y = – 1

2x + 3y = 1 ….. (1)

3x – 1 = 2x – y

3x – 2x + y = 1

By further simplification

x + y = 1 ….. (2)

Multiply equation (2) by 2 and subtract from equation (1)

2x + 3y = 1

2x + 2y = 2

So we get

y = – 1

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

2x + 3 (-1) = 1

So we get

2x – 3 = 1

2x = 1 + 3 = 4

By division

x = 4/2 = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = – 1.

Question 7.

(i) 4x + (x – y)/ 8 = 17

2y + x – (5y + 2)/3 = 2

(ii) (x + 1)/2 + (y – 1)/3 = 8

(x – 1)/3 + (y + 1)/ 2 = 9.

Answer :

(i) 4x + (x – y)/ 8 = 17

2y + x – (5y + 2)/3 = 2

We can write it as

4x + (x – y)/ 8 = 17

(32 + x – y)/ 8 = 17

By further calculation

(33x – y)/ 8 = 17

By cross multiplication

33x – y = 136 ….. (1)

2y + x – (5y + 2)/3 = 2

Taking LCM

[3 (2y + x) – 5 (5y + 2)]/ 3 = 2

By further calculation

6y + 3x – 5y – 2 = 2 × 3

So we get

y + 3x – 2 = 6

3x + y = 6 + 2

3x + y = 8 ….. (2)

By adding both the equations

36x = 144

By division

x = 144/36 = 4

Substitute the value of x in equation (1)

33 × 4 – y = 136

By further calculation

132 – y = 136

– y = 136 – 132

So we get

– y = 4

y = – 4

Therefore, x = 4 and y = – 4.

(ii) (x + 1)/2 + (y – 1)/3 = 8

(x – 1)/3 + (y + 1)/ 2 = 9

We can write it as

(x + 1)/2 + (y – 1)/3 = 8

Taking LCM

(3x + 3 + 2y – 2)/6 = 8

By further calculation

3x + 2y + 1 = 48

So we get

3x + 2y = 47 ….. (1)

(x – 1)/3 + (y + 1)/ 2 = 9

Taking LCM

(2x – 2 + 3y + 3)/6 = 9

By further calculation

2x + 3y + 1 = 54

So we get

2x + 3y = 53 ….. (2)

By adding equation (1) and (2)

5x + 5y = 100

Dividing by 5

x + y = 20 …… (3)

By subtracting equation (1) and (2)

x – y = – 6 ….. (4)

Now add equation (3) and (4)

2x = 14

x = 14/2 = 7

Subtracting equation (4) and (3)

2y = 26

y = 26/2 = 13

Therefore, x = 7 and y = 13.

Question 8.

(i) 3/x + 4y = 7

5/x + 6y = 13

(ii) 5x – 9 = 1/y

x + 1/y = 3.

Answer :

(i) 3/x + 4y = 7 ….. (1)

5/x + 6y = 13 ….. (2)

Substitute 1/x = a in equation (1) and )@)

3a + 4y = 7 …. (3)

5a + 6y = 13 ….. (4)

Multiply equation (3) by 5 and (4) by 3

15a + 20y = 35

15a + 18y = 39

Subtracting both the equations

2y = -4

So we get

y = – 4/2 = – 2

Substitute the value of y in equation (3)

3a + 4 (-2) = 7

By further calculation

3a – 8 = 7

3a = 7 + 8 = 15

So we get

3a = 15

a = 15/3 = 5

Here x = 1/a = 1/5

Therefore, x = 1/5 and y = – 2.

(ii) 5x – 9 = 1/y ….. (1)

x + 1/y = 3 ….. (2)

Substitute 1/y = b in (1) and (2)

5x – 9 = b

5x – b = 9 ….. (3)

x + b = 3 ….. (4)

By adding equation (3) and (4)

5x – b = 9 ….. (3)

x + b = 3 ….. (4)

So we get

6x = 12

By division

x = 12/6 = 2

Substitute the value of x in equation (4)

2 + b = 3

b = 3 – 2

b = 1

Here 1/y = 1

b = 1/y

y = 1

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 1.

Question 9.

(i) px + qy = p – q

qx – py = p + q

(ii) x/a – y/b = 0

ax + by = a2 + b2.

Answer :

(i) px + qy = p – q …. (1)

qx – py = p + q ….. (2)

Now multiply equation (1) by p and (2) by q

p2x + pqy = p2 – pq

q2x – pqy = pq + q2

By adding both the equations

(p2 + q2) x = p2 + q2

By further calculation

x = (p2 + q2)/ (p2 + q2) = 1

From equation (1)

p × 1 + qy = p – q

By further calculation

p – qy = p – q

So we get

qy = p – q – p = – q

Here

y = -q/q = – 1

Therefore, x = 1 and y = – 1.

(ii) x/a – y/b = 0

ax + by = a2 + b2

We can write it as

x/a – y/b = 0

Taking LCM

(bx – ay)/ab = 0

By cross multiplication

bx – ay = 0 …… (1)

ax + by = a2 + b2 ….. (2)

Multiply equation (1) by b and equation (2) by a

b2x – aby = 0

a2x + aby = a2 + ab2

By adding both the equations

(a2 + b2)x = a2+ ab2 = a (a2 + b2)

So we get

x = a (a2 + b2)/ a2 + b2 = a

From equation (2)

b × a – ay = 0

By further calculation

ab – ay = 0

ay = ab

So we get

y = ab/a = b

Therefore, x = a and y = b.

Question 10. Solve 2x + y = 23, 4x – y = 19. Hence, find the values of x – 3y and 5y – 2x.

Answer :

It is given that

2x + y = 23 …. (1)

4x – y = 19 ….. (2)

Adding both the equations

6x = 42

x = 42/6 = 7

Substitute the value of x in equation (1)

2 × 7 + y = 23

By further calculation

14 + y = 23

So we get

y = 23 – 14 = 9

Therefore, x = 7 and y = 9.

x – 3y = 7 – 3 × 9 = 7 – 27 = – 20

5y – 2x = 5 × 9 – 2 × 7 = 45 – 14 = 31

Question 11. The expression ax + by has value 7 when x = 2, y = 1. When x = – 1, y = 1, it has value 1, find a and b.

Answer :

It is given that

ax + by = 7 when x = 2 and y = 1

Substituting the values

a (2) + b (1) = 7

2a + b = 7 ….. (1)

Here

ax + by = 1 when x = – 1 and y = 1

Substituting the values

a (-1) + b (1) = 1

– a + b = 1 ….. (2)

By subtracting both the equations

– 3a = – 6

So we get

a = – 6/ – 3 = 2

Substituting the value of a in equation (1)

2 × 2 + b = 7

By further calculation

4 + b = 7

b = 7 – 4 = 3

Therefore, a = 2 and b = 3.

Question 12. Can the following equations hold simultaneously?

3x – 7y = 7

11x + 5y = 87

5x + 4y = 43.

If so, find x and y.

Answer :

3x – 7y = 7 …… (1)

11x + 5y = 87 ….. (2)

5x + 4y = 43 ….. (3)

Now multiply equation (1) by 5 and (2) by 7

15x – 35y = 35

77x + 35y = 609

By adding both the equations

92x = 644

By division

x = 644/92 = 7

Substitute the value of x in equation (1)

3 × 7 – 7y = 7

By further calculation

21 – 7y = 7

So we get

– 7y = 7 – 21 = – 14

y = – 14/ – 7 = 2

Therefore, x = 7 and y = 2.

If x = 7 and y – 2 satisfy the equation (3) then we can say that the equations hold simultaneously

Substitute the value of x and y in equation (3)

5x + 4y = 43

By further calculation

5 × 7 + 4 × 2 = 43

So we get

35 + 8 = 43

43 = 43 which is true.

Therefore, the equations hold simultaneously.
