Are the following pair of linear equations consistent? Justify your answer. 3 1
- (i)–3x– 4y = 12
- (ii)x–y= 5 2 1 1 4y + 3x = 12 x – 3y = 5 6
- (iii)2ax + by = a
- (iv)x + 3y = 11 4ax + 2by – 2a = 0; a, b ≠ 0 2 (2x + 6y) = 22
Show answer
(i) –3x– 4y = 12
(ii) x–y= 5 2 1 1 4y + 3x = 12 x – 3y = 5 6
(iii) 2ax + by = a
(iv) x + 3y = 11 4ax + 2by – 2a = 0; a, b ≠ 0 2 (2x + 6y) = 22
