In 19th century, in most parts of the Western world, modern cities emerged with industrialisation, but Indian cities under British rule did not benefit much.

CBSE Class 10 - Pair of Linear Equations In Two Variables - Solved Examples (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

☛Following questions have been asked in previous years of CBSE board examination.

Q1: Solve the following system of linear equations by elimination method (equating the coefficients).
6 (ax + by) = 3a + 2b
6 (bx – ay) = 3b – 2a

Answer:

Given equations :
6 (ax + by) = 3a + 2b ...(1)
6 (bx – ay) = 3b – 2a ...(2)

multiply eqn. (1) by a and equation (2) by b, and add, we get

6a²x + 6aby = 3a² + 2ab
6b²x – 6aby = 3b² – 2ab
────────────────────────
6 (a² + b²)x = 3(a + b)
────────────────────────

⇒ x = ½

Put x = ½ in equation (1), we have

6a × ½ + 6by = 3a + 2b

6by = 2b
y = ⅓

∴ x = ½ and y = ⅓        (Answer)
