By the method of elimination.
3x + 4y = 10……………………….(i)
2x – 2y = 2 ………………………. (ii)
When the equation (i) and (ii) is multiplied by 2, we get:
4x – 4y = 4 ………………………..(iii)
When the Equation (i) and (iii) are added, we get:
7x = 14
x = 2 ……………………………….(iv)
Substituting equation (iv) in (i) we get,
6 + 4y = 10
4y = 4
y = 1
Hence, x = 2 and y = 1
By the method of Substitution
From equation (ii) we get,
x = 1 + y……………………………… (v)
Substituting equation (v) in equation (i) we get,
3(1 + y) + 4y = 10
7y = 7
y = 1
When y = 1 is substituted in equation (v) we get,
A = 1 + 1 = 2
Therefore, A = 2 and B = 1
