Study Notes

Exercise 3.3: Solving Linear Equations

Part 1: Elimination Method and Algebraic Methods

  • Solve the pair of linear equations using elimination and algebraic methods:
    • Equation (i): x + y = 5 and 2x - 3y = 4
    • Equation (ii): 3x - 5y - 4 = 0 and 9x = 2y + 7

Part 2: Forming and Solving Linear Equations

  • Form the pair of linear equations and solve them using the elimination method:
    • Problem: A fraction changes to 1/2 when 1 is added to the numerator and 1 is subtracted from the denominator, and changes to 1/3 when 1 is added to the denominator.
    • Goal: Find the original fraction.
