Solve the system of linear equations below, using substitution method.

8x+9y=368x+9y=36
3x+4y=163x+4y=16

Sagot :

Given:

The system of equations is

[tex]8x+9y=36[/tex]

[tex]3x+4y=16[/tex]

To find:

The solution of the given system of equations using the substituting method.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]8x+9y=36[/tex]           ...(i)

[tex]3x+4y=16[/tex]            ...(ii)

From (ii), we get

[tex]3x=16-4y[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{16-4y}{3}[/tex]          ...(iii)

Putting this value in (i), we get

[tex]8\left(\dfrac{16-4y}{3}\right)+9y=36[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3.

[tex]8(16-4y)+27y=108[/tex]

[tex]128-32y+27y=108[/tex]

[tex]-5y=108-128[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-20}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]y=4[/tex]

Putting y=4 in (iii), we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{16-4(4)}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{16-16}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{0}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=0[/tex]

Therefore, the solution of given system of equations is (0,0).
