The correct Answer is:
To solve the given simultaneous equations using the method of cross-multiplication, we start with the equations: 1. \( 4x + 3y = 17 \) 2. \( 3x - 4y + 6 = 0 \) First, we need to rewrite the second equation in the standard form \( a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0 \): \[ 3x - 4y + 6 = 0 \implies 3x - 4y = -6 \] Now we can express both equations in the standard form: 1. \( 4x + 3y - 17 = 0 \) (Here, \( a_1 = 4, b_1 = 3, c_1 = -17 \)) 2. \( 3x - 4y + 6 = 0 \) (Here, \( a_2 = 3, b_2 = -4, c_2 = 6 \)) Next, we will use the cross-multiplication formula to find \( x \) and \( y \): The formulas for \( x \) and \( y \) are given by: \[ x = \frac{b_1c_2 - b_2c_1}{a_1b_2 - a_2b_1} \] \[ y = \frac{c_1a_2 - c_2a_1}{a_1b_2 - a_2b_1} \] Now we will substitute the values into these formulas. ### Step 1: Calculate \( x \) Substituting the values into the formula for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{(3)(6) - (-4)(-17)}{(4)(-4) - (3)(3)} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 3 \times 6 = 18 \] \[ -4 \times -17 = 68 \] So, the numerator becomes: \[ 18 - 68 = -50 \] Now calculating the denominator: \[ 4 \times -4 = -16 \] \[ 3 \times 3 = 9 \] So, the denominator becomes: \[ -16 - 9 = -25 \] Now substituting back into the equation for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{-50}{-25} = 2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( y \) Now we will substitute the values into the formula for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{(-17)(3) - (6)(4)}{(4)(-4) - (3)(3)} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ -17 \times 3 = -51 \] \[ 6 \times 4 = 24 \] So, the numerator becomes: \[ -51 - 24 = -75 \] Now using the same denominator as before, which is \(-25\): Now substituting back into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{-75}{-25} = 3 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the simultaneous equations is: \[ x = 2, \quad y = 3 \]
