III3x2y=−y10+=152x
Für diese Aufgabe benötigst Du folgendes Grundwissen: System of linear equations
In this case, the substitution method is useful, since the second equation is already solved for one variable.
III3x2y=−y10+=152x
Divide II by 2 and solve for x
II:2→II′y−5=x
Plug II′ into I
II′ plugged into I :
I′3(y−5)=y+15
Then, solve I′ for y
3y−152yy===y+153015∣−y;+15∣:2
Finally, plug y=15 into II′ and solve for x
y=15 plugged into II′ :
15−510==xx
L={(x∣y)}={(10∣15)}
Alternative solution: equating coefficients
Another option is to use the method of equating coefficients, because on the left side of I and on the right side of II there is almost the same term.
III3x2y=−y10+=152x
Multiply II by 23 to get a 3x on the right hand side.
III′3x3y=−y15+=153x
Set the right side of I equal to the left side of II′ and solve for x.
3x−152xx===x+52010∣−x;+15∣:2
Plug x=10 into I (or II) and solve for y.
3⋅103015===y+15y+15y∣−15
L={(x∣y)}={(10∣15)}
Alternative solution: combining addition and substitution method
The addition method can also be used here. To apply it, the equations are first transformed, so that the appropriate terms are placed one below the other:
III3x2x==y2y+−1510
Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
I′IIx2x==−y2y+−2510
Since the first equation is now solved for x, we can use the substitution method again.
Plug I′ into II and solve for y.
II′2⋅(−y+25)−2y+50−4yy====2y−102y−10−6015∣−2y∣−50∣:(−4)
Plug y=15 into I′ and solve for x.
x=−15+25
x=10
L={(x∣y)}={(10∣15)}
