To determine

Whether the solution is unique to the system of equations or not.

Answer to Problem 1RE

The given statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The system of equations,

2x+3y=7 (1)

5x−4y=6 (2)

Calculation:

Eliminate x term from equation (2).

Multiply equation (1) by −5 and equation (2) by 2 and add the two equations.

(−5)R1+2R2→R2

     − 10x−15y=−35 +       10x−8y=12      _                  −23y=−23

Then, the equation becomes,

−23y=−23 (3)

Multiply equation (3) by −123 .

−123R2→R2       y=1 (4)

Substitute the value of y in the equation (1).

2x+3(1)=72x+3=72x=4x=2

Thus, the solution is (2,1) .

That is, x=2 and y=1 . There is no other possibility to find the different solution.

Thus, the given statement is true.
