To solve these equations, we need to make one of the variables (in both the equations) have same coefficient.
Lets multiply equation (ii) by b, so that variable y in both the equations have same coefficient.
Recalling equations (i) & (ii),
a2y – b2x = a2b + ab2
ay – bx = 2ab [×b]
⇒ a2y – aby = a2b – ab2
⇒ (a2 – ab)y = a2b – ab2
⇒ a(a – b)y = ab(a – b)
⇒ y = b
Substitute y = b in equations (i)/(ii), as per convenience of solving.
Thus, substituting in equation (ii), we get
a(b) – bx = 2ab
⇒ ab – bx = 2ab
⇒ bx = ab – 2ab = - ab
⇒ x = - a
Hence, we have x = - a and y = b.
Solve for x and y:

We have,
⇒ b2x + a2y = a3b + ab3 …(i)
x + y = 2ab …(ii)
To solve these equations, we need to make one of the variables (in both the equations) have same coefficient.
Lets multiply equation (ii) by a2, so that variable y in both the equations have same coefficient.
Recalling equations (i) & (ii),
b2x + a2y = a3b + ab3
x + y = 2ab [×a2]
⇒ b2x – a2x = - a3b + ab3
⇒ (b2 – a2)x = ab(b2 – a2)
⇒ x = ab
Substitute x = ab in equations (i)/(ii), as per convenience of solving.
Thus, substituting in equation (ii), we get
(ab) + y = 2ab
⇒ y = ab
Hence, we have x = ab and y = ab.
Solve for x and y:
x + y = a + b, ax - by = a2 - b2
We have,

ax – by = a2 – b2…(ii)
To solve these equations, we need to make one of the variables (in both the equations) have same coefficient.
Lets multiply equation (i) by b, so that variable y in both the equations have same coefficient.
Recalling equations (i) & (ii),
x + y = a + b [×b
ax – by = a2 – b2
⇒ bx + ax = ab + a2
⇒ (b + a)x = a(b + a)
⇒ x = a
Substitute x = a in equations (i)/(ii), as per convenience of solving.
Thus, substituting in equation (i), we get
a + y = a + b
⇒ y = b
Hence, we have x = a and y = b.
Solve for x and y:
a2x + b2y = c2, b2x + a2y = d2
We have,
a2x + b2y = c2 …(i)
b2x + a2y = d2…(ii)
To solve these equations, we need to simplify them.
So, by adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
(a2x + b2y) + (b2x + a2y) = c2 + d2
⇒ (a2x + b2x) + (b2y + a2y) = c2 + d2
⇒ (a2 + b2)x + (a2 + b2)y = c2 + d2
Now dividing it by (a2 + b2), we get
x + y = (c2 + d2)/( a2 + b2) …(iii)
Similarly, subtracting equations (i) and (ii),
(a2x + b2y) – (b2x + a2y) = c2 – d2
⇒ (a2x – b2x) – (b2y – a2y) = c2 – d2
⇒ (a2 – b2)x – (a2 – b2)y = c2 – d2
Dividing the equation by (a2 – b2), we get
x – y = (c2 – d2)/ (a2 – b2) …(iv)
To solve equations (iii) and (iv), we need to make one of the variables (in both the equations) have same coefficient.

To solve these equations, we need to make one of the variables (in both the equations) have same coefficient.
Lets multiply equation (i) by a, so that variable y in both the equations have same coefficient.
Recalling equations (i) & (ii),
bx + ay = a2b + ab2 [×a
b2x + a2y = 2a2b2
⇒ abx – b2x = a3b – a2b2
⇒ b(a – b)x = a2b(a – b)
⇒ x = a2
Substitute x = a2 in equations (i)/(ii), as per convenience of solving.
Thus, substituting in equation (i), we get
b(a2) + ay = a2b + ab2
⇒ a2b + ay = a2b + ab2
⇒ ay = ab2
⇒ y = b2
Hence, we have x = a2 and y = b2.

Let the cost of each chair and each table are x and y respectively.
According to question,
5 × (cost of each chair) + 4 × (cost of each table) = 5600, and
4 × (cost of each chair) + 3 × (cost of each table) = 4340
∴ 5x + 4y = 5600.....(1)
4x + 3y = 4340.....(2)
from equation (1), we get -
x = (5600 - 4y)/5.....(3)
substituting the value of x in equation (2), we get -
⇒ 1/5 y = 140

A lady has only 25 - paisa and 50 - paisa coins in her purse. If she has 50 coins in all totalling Rs.19.50, how many coins of each kind does she have?
Let the no. of 25 - paisa coins be x.
the no of 50 - paisa coins = 50 - x
[∵ the total no. of coins = 50]
According to the question,

Excluding fixed charge, a student pays Rs. (4500 - 30x) for 25 days and Rs. (5200 - 30x) for 30 days mess charge
Cost of food per day is given by -
On Cross multiplying, we get -
⇒ 30(4500 - 30x) = 25(5200 - 30x)
⇒ 135000 - 900x = 130000 - 750x
⇒ 150x = 5000
⇒ x = (500/15)
Hence, the fixed charge of hostel per month = (500/15)×30 = Rs. 1000
and, Rate per km = ((4500 - 1000)/25) = (3500/25) = Rs. 140

Annual Interest on amount y + Annual Interest of amount x = Rs. 1305
∴
⇒ 8x + 10y = 130500
⇒ 4x + 5y = 65250.....(2)
From equation (1), we get -
x = (67500 - 4y)/5.....(3)
Substituting the value of x in equation (2), we get -
⇒
⇒ (9/5)y = 11250
∴ y = 6250
substituting the value of y in equation (3), we get -
x = 8500
Thus, the amount invested at 10% per annum = Rs. 8500 and,
the amount invested at 8% per annum = Rs. 6250

⇒ 25x + 22y = 30400.....(1)
and,
Selling Price of a chair(Profit = 10%) + Selling Price of a table(Profit = 25%) = Rs. 1535
⇒ 22x + 25y = 30700.....(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get -
⇒ 3x - 3y = - 300
⇒ x - y = - 100.....(3)
From equation (3), we get -
x = y - 100
Substituting the value of x in equation (2), we get -
22(y - 100) + 25y = 30700
⇒ 47y = 32900

Two years ago, a man was five times as old as his son. Two years later, his age will be 8 more than three times the age of his son. Find their present ages.
Let the age of the man and his son be x and y years respectively.
According to question -
x - 2 = 5(y - 2)
x - 5y = - 8.....(1)
and,
x + 2 = 3(y + 2) + 8
⇒ x - 3y = 12.....(2)
Subtracting Equation (1) from (2), we get -
y = 10
Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we get -
x = 42
Thus, Man's age = 42 years

According to question -
[ Selling price of tea set(Loss = 5%) + Selling Price of lemon Set(Profit = 15%) ] - [ cost price of tea set + cost price of lemon set ] = Rs. 7
⇒ - 5x + 15y = 700
⇒ - x + 3y = 140.....(1)
and,
[ Selling price of tea set(Profit = 5%) + Selling Price of lemon Set(Profit = 10%) ] - [ cost price of tea set + cost price of lemon set ] = Rs. 13
⇒ 5x + 10y = 1300
⇒ x + 2y = 260.....(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2), we get -
5y = 400
∴ y = 80

and,
x + 2y = 21
Subtracting equation (2) from (1), we get -
y = 3
Substituting the value of y in (2), we get -

A chemist has one solution containing 50% acid and a second one containing 25% acid. How much of each should be used to make 10 litres of a 40% acid solution?
Let the 50% solution used be x litres
Total volume of solution = 10 litres ( Given )
∴ 25% solution used = (10 - x) litres
Volume of acid in mixture = 40% of 10 litres = 4 litres
but, volume of acid in mixture = 50% of x + 25% of (10 - x)
⇒ x + 10 = 16
⇒ x = 6 litres
Thus, 50% solution = 6 litres and 25% solution = 4 litres.
A jeweller has bars of 18 - carat gold and 12 - carat gold. How much of each must be melted together to obtain a bar of 16 - carat gold, weighing 120 g? (Given: Pure gold is 24 - carat).
Let the weight of 18 - carat gold be x g.
∴ weight of 12 - carat gold = (120 - x) g
24 - carat equals 100% gold (Given)
∴ % of gold in 18 - carat gold = (100/24) × 18 = 75%
and % of gold in 12 - carat gold = 50%
and % of gold in 16 - carat gold = (200/3)%
Now,
75% of x + 50% of (120 - x) = (200/3)% of 120
⇒ x + 240 = 320
⇒ x = 80
Thus, the weight of 18 - carat gold = 80 g and the weight of 12 - carat gold = 40 g.
90% and 97% pure acid solutions are mixed to obtain 21 litres of 95% pure acid solution. Find the quantity of each type of acids to be mixed to form the mixture.
Let the quantity of 90% acid solution be x litres.
∴ quantity of 97% acid solution = (21 - x) litres
Now,
90% of x + 97% of (21 - x) = 95% of 21
⇒ 7x = 21(97 - 95)
⇒ 7x = 42
⇒ x = 6
Thus, 90% acid solution = 6 litres
97% acid solution = 21 - 6 = 15 litres

⇒ 4x° + y° = 182°.....(1)
and,
∠C - ∠B = 9° (Given)
⇒ - 3x° + y° = 7°.....(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get -
7x° = 175°
⇒ x° = 25°
Substituting the value of x° in equation (2), we get -
y° = 82°
Thus, ∠A = 25°, ∠B = 73° , ∠C = 82°

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180° and sum of all the interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ (2x + 4)° + (y + 3)° + (2y + 10)° + (4x - 5)° = 360°
⇒ 6x° + 3y° = 348°
⇒ 2x° + y° = 116°.....(1)
and,
∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 2x° + 2y° = 166°
⇒ x° + y° = 83°.....(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from (1), we get -
⇒ x° = 33°
Substituting the value of x° in equation (2), we get -
y° = 50°

In a ΔABC, ∠C = 3 ∠B = 2 (∠A + ∠B), then ∠B = ?
A. 20°
B. 40°
C. 60°
D. 80°
Let us assume, ∠ A = xo and ∠ B = yo
∴ ∠ A = 3 ∠ B = (3y)o
We know that, sum of all sides of the triangle is equal to 180o
∴ ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180o
x + y + 3y = 180o
x + 4y = 180o (i)
Also we have, ∠ C = 2 (∠ A + ∠ B)
3y = 2 (x + y)
2x – y = 0 (ii)
Now, by multiplying (ii) by 4 we get:
8x – 4y = 0 (iii)
And adding (i) and (iii), we get
9x = 180o
x = 20
Putting the value of x in (i), we get
20 + 4y = 180
4y = 180 – 20
4y = 160
y = 40
∴ ∠ B = y = 40o

In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, it is being given that ∠A = (x + y + 10)°, ∠B = (y + 20)°, ∠C = (x + y – 30)° and ∠D = (x + y)°. Then, ∠B = ?
A. 70°
B. 80°
C. 100°
D. 110°
It is given in the question that,
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, we have:
∠ A = (x + y + 10)o
∠ B = (y + 20)o
∠ C = (x + y – 30)o
∠ D = (x + y)o
As ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠ A + ∠ C = 180o and ∠ B + ∠ D = 180o
Now, ∠ A + ∠ C = 180o
(x + y + 10)o + (x + y – 30)o = 180o
2x + 2y – 20o = 180o
x + y = 100o (i)
Also, ∠ B + ∠ D = 180o
(y + 20)o + (x + y)o = 180o
x + 2y + 20o = 180o
x + 2y = 160o (ii)
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
y = (160 – 100)o
y = 60o
Putting the value of y in (i), we get
x + 60o = 100o
x = 100o – 60o
x = 40o
∴ ∠ B = (y + 20)o
∠ B = 60o + 20o = 80o
Hence, option B is correct

Let us assume the tens and the unit digits of the required number be x and y respectively
∴ Required number = (10x + y)
According to the given condition in the question, we have
x + y = 15 (i)
By reversing the digits, we obtain the number = (10y + x)
∴ (10y + x) = (10x + y) + 9
10y + x – 10x – y = 9
9y – 9x = 9
y – x = 1 (ii)
Now, on adding (i) and (ii) we get:
2y = 16
Putting the value of y in (i), we get:
x + 8 = 15
x = 15 – 8
x = 7
∴ Required number = (10x + y)
= 10 × 7 + 8
= 70 + 8
= 78
Hence, option D is correct

y = 2 (15) – 4
y = 30 – 4
y = 26

Let us assume the present age of men be x years
Also, the present age of his son be y years
According to question, after 5 years:
(x + 5) = 3 (y + 5)
x + 5 = 3y + 15
x – 3y = 10 …(i)
Also, five years ago:
(x – 5) = 7 (y – 5)
x – 5 = 7y – 35
x – 7y = – 30 …(ii)
Now, on subtracting (i) from (ii) we get:
– 4y = – 40
y = 10
Putting the value of y in (i), we get
x – 3 × 10 = 10
x – 30 = 10
x = 10 + 30
x = 40
∴ The present age of men is 40 years
Hence, option D is correct

a - 1 + 6 = 0
a + 5 = 0
a = - 5
∴ a = - 5; b = - 1

5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs. 195 while 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs. 153.
Find the cost of each one of the pencil and the pen.
Let the cost of pencils be x and cost of pens be y.
The linear equations formed are:
5x + 7y = 195 … (1)

Solve the following system of equations graphically:
2x - 3y = 1,4x - 3y + 1 = 0.
For 2x – 3y = 1,( In graph - red line)
For 4x – 3y + 1 = 0,( In graph – blue line)
From the above graph, we observe that there is a point ( - 1, - 1) common to both the lines.
So, the solution of the pair of linear equations is x = - 1 and y = - 1.
The given pair of equations is consistent.
Find the angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD in which
∠A = (4x + 20)°, ∠B = (3x - 5)°, ∠C = (4y)° and ∠D = (7y + 5)°.
It is given that angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are given by:
∠A = (4x + 20)°,
∠B = (3x - 5)°,
∠C = (4y)°
and ∠D = (7y + 5)°.
We know that the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
∠A + ∠C = 180°
4x + 20 + 4y = 180°
4x + 4y – 160 = 0 … (1)

3x – 5 + 7y + 5 = 180°
3x + 7y - 180° = 0… (2)
By elimination method,
Step 1: Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficients of x equal.
Then, we get the equations as:
12x + 12y = 480 … (3)
12x + 16y = 540 … (4)
Step 2: Subtract equation (4) from equation (3),
(12x – 12x) + (16y - 12y) = 540 – 480

2x = 8
x = 4
Substituting x value in (4),
4 – y = 1
y = 3
The solution is x = 4 and y = 3.

Solve: ax - by = 2ab.
Given: … (1)
ax - by = 2ab … (2)
Multiplying by ab to (1) and a to (2), we get
a2x – b2y = a2b + ab2 … (3)
a2x – aby = 2a2b … (4)
Subtracting equation (4) from equation (3),
(a2x – a2x) + ( - aby) – ( - b2y) = (2a2b - a2b) – ab2
⇒ - aby + b2y = a2b – ab2
⇒ by(b – a) = ab(a – b)
⇒ y = b(b – a) / ab(a – b)
⇒ y = - a
Substitute y value in (2),
ax – b( - a) = 2ab
⇒ ax + ab = 2ab
⇒ ax = ab
⇒ x = b
The solution is x = b and y = - a.
