Question

Write two solutions of the form x = 0, y = a and x = b, y = 0 for each of the following equations:

2x + 3y = 24

Answer 1

Given that

2x +3y = 24

Substituting x = 0 in the given equation

Thus, x= 0 and y = 8 is a solution of 2x +3y = 24

Substituting y = 0 in 2x +3y = 24 we get 2x +3 x 0 = 24

2x = 24

x = 24/2 = 12

Thus x = 12 and y = 0 is a solution of 2x +3y = 24

Thus x = 0, y = -8 and x = 12, y = 0 are two solutions of 2x +3y = 24
