Exercise 3.2 Solutions

Solve the following systems of equations graphically: 

1. x + y = 3 
2x + 5y = 12

Solution

We have
x + y = 3 
2x + 5y = 12 
Now, 
x + y = 3 
When y = 0,we have 
x = 3 
When x = 0,we have 
y = 3 
Thus, we have the following table giving points on the line x + y= 3 

x	0	3
y	3	0

Now, 
2 + 5y = 12 
⇒ y = (12-2x)/5 
When x =1,we have 
y = (12 – 2×1)/5 = 2
When x = −4, we have 
y = (12 – 2× -4)/5 = 4
Thus, we have the following table giving points on the line 2x + 5y = 12 

x	1	-4
y	2	4

Graph of the equation x + y = 3 and 2x + 5y = 12;

Hence, x = 1, y = 2 is the solution of the given system of equations.

2. x – 2y = 5
2x + 3y = 10

Solution

We have 
x – 2y = 5
2x +3y = 10
Now, 
x – 2y = 5
⇒ x = 5 +2y
When y = 0, we have 
x = 5 + 2×0 = 5 
When y =−2, we have 
x = 5 + 2×(−2) = 1 
Thus, we have the following table giving points on the line x – 2y = 5 

x	5	1
y	0	-2

Now,
2x + 3y = 10
⇒ 2x = 10 – 3y
⇒ x = (10 – 3y)/2 
When y = 0, we have 
x =10/2 = 5 
When y = 0, we have 
x = 10/2 = 5 
When y = 2,we have 
x = (10 – 3×2)/2 = 2
Thus, we have the following table giving points on the line 2x + 3y = 10

⇒ 2x = 3y − 4 
⇒ x =(3y – 4)/2
When y = 0,we have 
x = (3×0 – 4)/2 = - 2
When y = 2, we have 
x = (3×2 – 4)/2 = 1
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	-2	1
Y	0	2

Graph of the given system of equations: 

The given system of equation is 
2x + 3y = 8
x – 2y = - 3
Now, 
2x + 3y = 8
⇒ 2x =8 −3y
⇒ x = (8 – 3y)/2
When y = 2, we have 
x = (8 – 3×4)/2 = 1
When y = 4,we have 
x = (8 – 3×4)/2 = - 2
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	1	-2
y	2	4

We have, 
x – 2y = -3
⇒ x = 2y – 3
When y = 0,we have 
x = 2×0 – 3 = - 1
When y =1,we have 
x =2 ×1 −3 = − 1 
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	-3	-1
y	0	1

Graph of the given system of equations: 

Clearly, the two lines intersect at A(1,2).
Hence x = 1, y = 2 is the solution of the given system of equations. 
We also observe that the lines represented by the equations 2x + 3y = 8 and x – 2y = - 3 meet x-axis at B(4,0) and C (−3, 0 )respectively.

30. Draw the graphs of the following equations: 
2x – 3y + 6= 0
2x + 3y – 18 = 0
y – 2 = 0
Find the vertices of the triangle so obtained. Also, find the area of the triangle.

Solution

The given system of equation is 
2x – 3y + 6 = 0
2x – 3y – 18 = 0
y – 2 = 0
Now, 
2x – 3y + 6 = 0
⇒ 2x = 3y – 6
⇒ x = (3y – 6)/2
When y = 0,we have 
x = (3×0 – 6)/2 = - 3
When y = 2,we have 
x = (3×2 – 6 )/2 = 0
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	-3	0
y	0	2

We have, 
2x + 3y – 18 = 0
⇒ 2x = 18 – 3y
⇒ x = (18 – 3y)/2
When y = 2,we have 
x = (18 – 3×2)/2 = 6
When y = 6, we have
x = (18 – 3 × 6)/2 = 0
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	6	0
y	2	6

We have 
y – 2 = 0
⇒ y = − 2 
Graph of the given system of equations:

From the graph of the three equations, we find that the three lines taken in pairs intersect each other at points A(3, 4), B(0, 2) and C (6,2).

Hence, the vertices of the required triangle are (3, 4), (0, 2) and (6,2).
From graph, we have 
AD = 4 – 2 = 2
BC = 6 – 0 = 6
Area of ΔABC = ½ (Base ×Height)
= ½ ×BC ×AD
= ½ ×6 ×2
= 6 sq. units
∴Area of ΔABC = 6 sq units.

31. Solve the following system of equations graphically: 
2x – 3y + 6 = 0
2x + 3y – 18 = 0
Also, find the area of the region bounded by these two lines and y-axis. 

Solution

The given system of equation is 
2x – 3y + 6 = 0
2x + 3y – 18 = 0
Now, 
2x – 3y + 6 = 0
⇒ 2x +6 = 3y
⇒ 3y = 2x + 6 
⇒ y = (2x + 6)/3
When x = 0, we have 
y = (2×0 + 6)/3 = 2
When x = −3,we have 
y = (2× - 3 + 6)/3 = 0
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	0	-3
y	2	6

Graph of the given system of equations: 

Clearly, the two lines intersect at A(3, 4 ).
Hence, x = 3, y = 4 is the solution of the given system of equations. 
We also observe that the lines represented by the equations 2x – 3y + 6 = 0 and 2x + 3y – 18 = 0 meet y-axis at B(0, 2) and C (0,6 ) respectively.
Thus, x = 3, y = 4 is the solution of the given system of equations. 

Draw AD perpendicular from A on y-axis. 
Clearly, we have, 
AD = x −coordinate of point A(3,4) 
⇒AD = 3and, BC = 6 – 2 = 4 
Area of the shaded region = Area of ΔABC 
Area of the shaded region =1/2 × (Base ×Height) 
= ½ (BC ×AD)
= ½ ×4×3
= 2 ×3 =6 sq.units
∴Area of the region bounded by these two lines and y-axis is 6 sq. units.

32. Solve the following system of linear equations graphically: 
4x – 5y – 20 = 0
3x + 5y – 15= 0
Determine the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines representing the above equation and the y-axis. 

Solution

The given system of equation is 
4x – 5y – 20 = 0
3x + 5y – 15 = 0
Now,
4x – 5y – 20 = 0
⇒ 4x = 5y + 20
⇒ x = (5y + 20)/4 = 5
When y = 0, we have
x = (5×0+20)/4 = 5
When y =−4,we have 
x = (5×-4 + 20)/4 = 0
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	5	0
y	0	-4

We have, 
3x + 5y – 15 = 0
⇒ 3x = 15 – 5y
⇒ x = (15 – 5y)/3
When y = 0,we have 
x = (15 – 5×0)/3 = 5
When y = 3,we have 
x = (15 – 5 ×3)/3 = 0
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	5	0
y	0	3

Graph of the given system of equations: 

Clearly, the two lines intersect at A(5,0). Hence, (x – 5), (y −0) is the solution of the given system of equations. 
We also find that the two lines represented by the equations 4x – 5y – 20 = 0 and 3x + 5y – 15 = 0 meet y-axis at B(0, - 4) and C (0,3) respectively,
∴The vertices of the required triangle are (5,0) , (0,- 4) and (0,3).

33. Draw the graphs of the equations 5x − y = 5 and 3x − y = 3. Determine the co-ordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and y-axis. Calculate the area of the triangle so formed. 

Solution

5x – y = 5
⇒ y = 5x – 5
Three solutions of this equation can be written in a table as follows:

x	0	1	2
y	-5	0	5

3x – y = 3

⇒ y = 3x − 3 

x	0	1	2
y	-3	0	3

The graphical representation of the two lines will be as follows: 

It can be observed that the required triangle is ΔABC. 
The coordinates of its vertices are A(1,0), B(0, -3), C (0 −5 ).
Concept insight: In order to find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle so formed. Find the points where the two lines intersects the y-axis and also where the two lines intersect each other. Here, note that the coordinates of the intersection of lines with y-axis is taken and not with x-axis, this is became the question says to find the triangle formed by the two lines and the y-axis.

34. Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solution graphically: 
(i) 10 students of class X took part in Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz.
(ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs 46. Find the cost of one pencil and a pen. 
(iii)Champa went to a ‘sale’ to purchase some pants and skirts. When her friends asked her how many of each she had bought, she answered, “The number of skirts is two less than twice the number of pants purchased. Also, the number of skirts is four less than four times the number of pants purchased.” Help her friends to find how many pants and skirts Champa bought. 

Solution

(i) Let the number of girls and boys in the class be x and y respectively. 
According to the given conditions, we have: 
x + y = 10
x – y = 4
x + y = 10

⇒ x =10 – y
Three solutions of this equation can be written in a table as follows: 

x	4	5	6
y	6	5	4

x – y = 4

⇒ x = 4 + y
Three solutions of this equation can be written in a table as follows: 

x	5	4	3
y	1	0	-1

The graphical representation is as follows: 

From the graph, it can be observed that the two lines intersect each other at the point (7, 3).
So. x = 7and y = 3.
Thus, the number of girls and boys in the class are 7 and 3 respectively.
(ii) Let the cost of one pencil and one pen be Rs x and Rs y respectively. According to the given conditions, we have: 
5x + 7y = 50
7x + 5y = 46
5x + 7y = 50
⇒ x = (50 – 7y)/5
Three solutions of this equation can be written in a table as follows: 

x	3	10	-4
y	5	0	10

7x + 5y = 46
⇒ x = (46 – 5y)/7
Three solutions of this equation can be written in a table as follows: 

x	8	3	-2
y	-2	5	12

The graphical representation is as follows: 

From the graph. It can be observed that the two lines intersect each other at the point (3, 5).
 So. x = 3 and y = 5.
Therefore, the cost of one pencil and one pen are Rs 3 and Rs 5 respectively. 
(iii) Let us denote the number of pants by x and the number of skirts by y. Then the equations formed are: 
y = 2x - 2 ...(1)

y = 4x - 4 ...(2)
Let us draw the graphs of Equations (1) and (2) by finding two solutions for each of the equations. 
They are given in table 

x	2	0
y = 2x-2	2	-2

x	0	1
y 4x-4	-4	0

Plot the point and draw the lines passing through them to represent the equation, as shown in fig. 
The t lines intersect at the point(1,0). So. x −1,y = 0 is the required solution of the pair of linear equations, i.e, the number of pants she purchased island she did not buy any skirt
Concept insight: Read the question carefully and examine what are the unknowns. Represent the given conditions with the help of equations by taking the unknowns quantities as variables. Also carefully state the variables as whole solution is based on it on the graph paper, mark the points accurately and neatly using a sharp pencil. Also take at least three points satisfying the two equations in order to obtain the correct straight line of the equation. Since joining any two points gives a straight line and if one of the points is computed incorrect will give a wrong line and taking third point will give a correct line. The point where the two straight lines will intersect will give the values of the two variables, i.e., the solution of the two linear equations. State the solution point.

35. Solve the following system of equations graphically: 
Shade the region between the lines and the y-axis 
(i) 3x – 4y = 7
5x + 2y = 3
(ii) 4x – y = 4
3x + 2y = 14

Solution

The given system of equations is 
3x – 4y = 7
5x + 2y = 3
Now, 
3x – 4y = 7
⇒ 3x – 7 = 4y
⇒ 4y = 3x −7
⇒ y = (3x – 7)/4
When x =1,we have 
y = (3×1 – 7)/4 = -1
When x = −3,we have 
y = (3×-3 – 7)/4 = -4
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	1	-3
y	-1	-4

We have, 
5x + 2y = 3
⇒ 2y = 3 – 5x
⇒ y = (3 – 5x)/2
When x =1,we have 
y = (3 – 5×1)/2 = - 1
When x = 3, we have 
y = (3 – 5×3)/2 = - 6
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	1	3
y	-1	-6

Graph of the given system of equations:

Clearly, the two lines intersect at A(1, −1). Hence, x = 1, y = − 1, is the solution of the given system of equations. 
We also observe that the required shaded region is ΔABC 
The given system of equations is 
4x – y = 4
3x + 2y = 14
Now, 
4x – y = 4
⇒ 4x – 4 = y
⇒ y = 4x – 4
When x = 0, we have 
y = 4 × 0 – 4 = − 4
When x =−1, we have 
y = 4 × 0 −4= − 4 
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	0	-1
y	-4	-8

We have, 
3x + 2y = 14
⇒ 2y = 14 – 3x
⇒ y =(14 – 3x)/2
When x = 0, we have 
y = (14 – 3×0)/2 = 7
When x = 4,we have 
y = (14 – 3×4)/2 = 1
Thus, we have the following table: 

x	0	4
y	7	1

Graph of the given system of equations: 

Clearly, the two lines intersect at A(2,4). Hence, x = 2, y = 4 is the solution of the given system of equations. 
We also observe ΔABCis the required shaded region.

36. Represent the following pair of equations graphically and write the coordinates of points where the lines intersects y-axis 
x+ 3y = 6
2x – 3y = 12

Solution

The given system of equations is 
x + 3y = 6
2x – 3y = 12
Now, 
x + 3y = 6
⇒ 3y = 6 – x
⇒ y = (6 – x)/3
When x = 0, we have
y = (6 -0)/3 = 2
When x = 3, we have
y = (6 -3)/3 = 1
Thus we have the following table :

X	0	3
Y	2	1

we have,
2x + 3y = 12
⇒ 2x – 12 = 3y
⇒ y = (2x – 12)/3
When x = 0, we have
y = (2×0 – 12)/3 = -4
When x = 6, we have
y = (2×6 – 12)/3 = 0
Thus, we have the following table :

X	0	6
Y	-4	0

Graph of the given system of equations:

We observe that the liens represented by the equations x + 3y – 6 and 2x – 3y – 12 meet y – axis at B(0,2) and C(0, - 4) respectively.
Hence, the required co- ordinates are (0,2) and (0, -4).

37. Given the linear equation 2x + 3y – 8 = 0, write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is (i) intersecting lines (ii) Parallel lines (iii) coincident lines

Solution

(i)For the two lines a₁x + b₁x + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂x + c₂ = 0 , to be intersecting, we must have a₁/a₂ ≠ b₁/b₂
So, the other linear equation can be 5x + 6y – 16 = 0
As a₁/a₂ = 2/5 , b₁/b₂ = 3/6 = 1/2, c₁/c₂ = -8/-16 = 1/2

(ii) For the two lines a₁x + b₁x + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂x + c₂ = 0, to be parallel we must have a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂
So, the other linear equation can be 6x + 9y + 24 = 0 ,
As a₁/a₂ = 2/6 = 1/3 , b₁/b₂ = 3/9 = 1/3, c₁/c₂ = -8/24 = -1/3

(iii) For the two lines a₁x + b₁x + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂x + c₂ = 0, to be coincident, we must have a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂
So, the other linear equation can be 6x + 9y + 24 = 0,
As a₁/a₂ = 2/8 = 1/4, b₁/b₂ = 3/12 = 1/4, c₁/c₂ = -8/-32 = ¼
Concept insight : In orders to answer such type of problems, just remember the conditions for two lines to be intersecting parallel, and coincident .
This problem will have multiple answers as their can be marry equations satisfying the required conditions.
