Solve for x and y : x / 2 + 2y / 3 = − 1; x − y / 3 = 3

Q) Solve for x and y:

$\frac{\times}{2} + \frac{2Y}{3}$ = -1; $\times - \frac{Y}{3}$ = 3

Ans: Let’s take the equations one by one:

$\frac{\times}{2} + \frac{2Y}{3}$ = -1

3X + 4 Y = – 6 ………. (i)

Similarly, $\times - \frac{Y}{3}$ = 3

We can write this as:

$\frac{\times}{1} - \frac{Y}{3}$ = 3

3X – Y = 9 ….. (ii)

By solving equations (i) and (ii), we get:

X = 2

and Y = – 3

Therefore value of X is 2 and value of Y is -3.
