The correct Answer is:
To solve the given pair of linear equations using the method of elimination by substitution, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the First Equation The first equation is: \[ \frac{2x + 1}{7} + \frac{5y - 3}{3} = 12 \] To eliminate the fractions, we will find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 21. We will multiply the entire equation by 21: \[ 21 \left(\frac{2x + 1}{7}\right) + 21 \left(\frac{5y - 3}{3}\right) = 21 \cdot 12 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3(2x + 1) + 7(5y - 3) = 252 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 6x + 3 + 35y - 21 = 252 \] Combining like terms: \[ 6x + 35y - 18 = 252 \] Now, adding 18 to both sides: \[ 6x + 35y = 270 \] Let’s mark this as Equation 1: \[ \text{Equation 1: } 6x + 35y = 270 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Second Equation The second equation is: \[ \frac{3x + 2}{2} - \frac{4y - 3}{9} = 13 \] Again, we will find the LCM of the denominators, which is 18. We will multiply the entire equation by 18: \[ 18 \left(\frac{3x + 2}{2}\right) - 18 \left(\frac{4y - 3}{9}\right) = 18 \cdot 13 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9(3x + 2) - 2(4y - 3) = 234 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 27x + 18 - 8y + 6 = 234 \] Combining like terms: \[ 27x - 8y + 24 = 234 \] Now, subtracting 24 from both sides: \[ 27x - 8y = 210 \] Let’s mark this as Equation 2: \[ \text{Equation 2: } 27x - 8y = 210 \] ### Step 3: Solve for One Variable We will solve Equation 2 for \(x\): \[ 27x = 210 + 8y \] Dividing both sides by 27 gives: \[ x = \frac{210 + 8y}{27} \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the First Equation Now, we will substitute this expression for \(x\) into Equation 1: \[ 6\left(\frac{210 + 8y}{27}\right) + 35y = 270 \] Multiplying through by 27 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 6(210 + 8y) + 35y \cdot 27 = 270 \cdot 27 \] This simplifies to: \[ 1260 + 48y + 945y = 7290 \] Combining like terms: \[ 1260 + 993y = 7290 \] Subtracting 1260 from both sides: \[ 993y = 7290 - 1260 \] Calculating the right side: \[ 993y = 6030 \] Dividing both sides by 993 gives: \[ y = \frac{6030}{993} = 6 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(y\) Back to Find \(x\) Now that we have \(y\), we substitute it back into the expression for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{210 + 8(6)}{27} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = \frac{210 + 48}{27} = \frac{258}{27} = 10 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ x = 10, \quad y = 6 \]
