Sagot :

Answer: I know two methods of solving both of the sums. One is the method of elimination, the other is method of substitution. You can do any of the given methods which is easier for you. Both methods will be shown below:

                                    Method of Elimination

1) 5x + y = 9       - - - - (i)
  10x - 7y = - 18 - - - - (ii)

eq. (i) multiplied by 2
   10x + 2y = 18  - - - - (i)
   10x - 7y = - 18 - - - - (ii)       {subtraction of eq. (ii) from eq. (i)}
    0   + 9y = 36
              y = 36/9
              y = 4

From eq. (i),
   5x + y = 9
-> 5x + 4 = 9
-> 5x = 9 - 4
->  x = 5/5
-> x = 1

So, x = 1 and y = 4

2) - 4x + 9y = 9 - - - - (i)
      x - 3y = - 6 - - - - (ii)

eq. (ii) multiplied by 3
    - 4x + 9y = 9 - - - - (i)
     3x - 9y  = - 18 - - (ii)        {addition of eq. (ii) and eq. (i)}
      - x + 0 = - 9
              x  =  9

From eq. (ii),
    x - 3y = - 6
->  9 - 3y = - 6
->  - 3y = -6-9
->  y = -15/-3
->  y = 5

So, x = 9 and y = 5

                                Method of Substitution

1) 5x + y = 9       - - - - (i)
  10x - 7y = - 18 - - - - (ii)

eq. (i)

  5x + y = 9
-> y = 9 - 5x

Value of eq. (i) in eq. (ii)
   10x - 7y = - 18
-> 10x - 7(9 - 5x) = - 18
-> 10x - 63 + 35x = - 18
-> 45x = - 18 + 63
-> x = 45/45
-> x =  1

From eq. (i),
   5x + y = 9
-> 5 + y = 9
-> y = 9 - 5
-> y = 4

So, x = 1 and y = 4

2) - 4x + 9y = 9 - - - - (i)
      x - 3y = - 6 - - - - (ii)

eq. (i)
   - 4x + 9y = 9
-> - 4x = 9 - 9y
-> x = (9 - 9y) / -4

Value of eq. (i) in eq. (ii)
      x - 3y = - 6
-> (9 - 9y) / -4  -3y = - 6
-> (9 - 9y + 12y) = - 6 * - 4
-> 3y = 24 - 9
-> y = 15/3
-> y =  5

From eq. (ii)
   x - 3y = - 6
-> x - 3(5) = - 6
-> x - 15 = - 6
-> x = - 6 + 15
-> x = 9

So, x = 9 and y = 5
