If 2x + 3y = 17 and 2x+2-3y+1 = 5, then:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option3 i.e. x = 3, y = 2
Given that
If 2x + 3y = 17
put x = 3 and y = 2
23 + 32 = 8 + 9 = 17 it satisfies the equation
And the value = 2x+2 - 3y+1 = 23+2 - 32+1 = 32 - 27 = 5
it also satisfies the given equation
Hence, we say x = 3 and y = 2
