Which of the following equations could be the result of using the comparison method to solve the system shown class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (2) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : two a system of linear equation as

   x+ y = 5 and

   2x+ y = 7

We have to choose out of given options  that could be the result of using comparison method to solve the given system .

COMPARISON METHOD

In comparison method we find a value for the single variable in term of others in given equations and compare the two equations.

Here, we first find the value of y in both equation and then compare,

Thus,  x+ y = 5 ...........(1)

          2x+ y = 7  .........(2)

From (1) , y = 5- x  ..........(3)

And from (2) , y = 7- 2x ......(4)

Now, comparing (3) and (4) , we have,

5- x = 7- 2x

Thus,  option (2) is correct.

Answer: [tex]5-x=7-2x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations: [tex]x+y=5\\\Rightarrow\ y=5-x..........(1)\\2x+y=7\\\Rightarrow\ y=7-2x.........................(2)[/tex]

Comparing equation (1) from equation (2), we get

[tex]5-x=7-2x[/tex]

  • Comparison method is a method for solving systems of independent equations by starting rewriting both equations with the same variable and then compare.

Hence, [tex]5-x=7-2x[/tex] is the  result of using the comparison method to solve the system shown.
