Solve and and hence find the value of ‘m’ for which
2x + 3y = 11.........(i)
2x - 4y = - 24..........(ii)
From equation (i)
2x = 11 - 3y..........(iii)
putting value of 2x from equation (iii) to equation (ii)
11 - 3y - 4y = - 24
= 11 - 7y = - 24
= - 7y = -35
= y =
Putting value of y in equation (iii) we get,
2x = 11 - 3 × 5 = 11 - 15 = - 4
x =
Now , putting values of x and y in equation
y = mx + 3
= 5 = -2 m + 3
=
