Linear Equation in 2 variables

Algebra Level 1

Solve the pair of linear equation by any method you like and find the value of x and y and enter their sum

x + y = 3 2 x + 5 y = 12 x+y=3\\ 2x+5y=12


The answer is 3.

No need to solve the equations; first equation is the ans :- x + y = 3

what A stupid question. ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa

1st equation is the solution, no need to solve it.

No need to solve... Que itself reveals the answer x+y=3

no need to solve the equaation as the answer lies in question itself!!

4(x+y=3) ==> 4x+4y=12 4x+4y=2x+5y 2x=y x+y = x+2x=3 ==> x=1

The reason why the second equation is necessary is because there are an infinite number of solutions to the first equation, A few examples: 1.1+1.9=3 1.01+1.99=3 0.25+1.75=3 Only (x=1,y=2) satisfies both equations

HAHAHA!!!!! This is a possible troll question!!! Don't need to find individual values! You don't even need the 2nd equation!! HAHAHA!!!! Troller!!!

Sum=first equation= 3 3 .Common sense.

no need to do this

And obviously x + y = 3 x+y=3\\

product means x*y=2 and not x+y=3

Yes, I have reported this question...and @Ankit vijay - Can you post a solution to your resistances problem pl?

Krishna Ar - 7 years ago

Yes i did realize i by mistke gave the solution in the question and x*y=2 is wrong so ill recreate the question and x+y=3(which i gave in the question) Therefore i will edit that mistake Sorry for the inconvenience :)

Ankit Vijay - 7 years ago

Better edit it again. If x=1, and y=2 the product must be 2.

Steven Perkins - 7 years ago

The ans is the first equation

Rifath Rahman - 6 years, 6 months ago

What the hell ? product is not = 1 x 2 ?
