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: Convert the equations to standard form The given equations are: 1. \(\frac{3x}{2} - \frac{5y}{3} + 2 = 0\) 2. \(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{2} = \frac{2}{6}\) First, we will eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator. **For the first equation:** - The least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 3 is 6. - Multiply the entire equation by 6 to eliminate the fractions: \[ 6 \left(\frac{3x}{2}\right) - 6 \left(\frac{5y}{3}\right) + 6(2) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9x - 10y + 12 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] **For the second equation:** - The LCM of 3 and 2 is also 6. - Multiply the entire equation by 6: \[ 6\left(\frac{x}{3}\right) + 6\left(\frac{y}{2}\right) = 6\left(\frac{2}{6}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 3y = 2 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 2: Rearrange Equation 2 to express \(x\) in terms of \(y\) From Equation 2: \[ 2x + 3y = 2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = 2 - 3y \] \[ x = 1 - \frac{3y}{2} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \(x\) in Equation 1 Now, substitute \(x\) in Equation 1: \[ 9\left(1 - \frac{3y}{2}\right) - 10y + 12 = 0 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 9 - \frac{27y}{2} - 10y + 12 = 0 \] Combine like terms: \[ 21 - \frac{27y}{2} - 10y = 0 \] To combine the terms involving \(y\), convert \(10y\) to a fraction with a denominator of 2: \[ 10y = \frac{20y}{2} \] Now the equation becomes: \[ 21 - \frac{27y + 20y}{2} = 0 \] \[ 21 - \frac{47y}{2} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(y\) Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{47y}{2} = 21 \] Multiplying both sides by 2: \[ 47y = 42 \] Now, divide by 47: \[ y = \frac{42}{47} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(y\) back to find \(x\) Now substitute \(y\) back into the equation for \(x\): \[ x = 1 - \frac{3\left(\frac{42}{47}\right)}{2} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 1 - \frac{126}{94} \] \[ x = \frac{94}{94} - \frac{126}{94} = -\frac{32}{94} = -\frac{16}{47} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ x = -\frac{16}{47}, \quad y = \frac{42}{47} \]
