SOLUTIONS & MARKING SCHEME

Solution 1:

Given equations are:


(1) x + 1/y = 5

(2) 2x + 3/y = 13

Multiplying equation (1) by 3:

3x + 3/y = 15

Subtracting equation (2) from this result:

(3x + 3/y) - (2x + 3/y) = 15 - 13

x=2
Substituting x = 2 back into equation (1):

2 + 1/y = 5 → 1/y = 3 → y = 1/3

Evaluating the required expression (2x - 3y):

2(2) - 3(1/3) = 4 - 1 = 3

Answer: 3

Solution 2:

Given equation: y = 2x + 3
To express it in the standard form ax + by + c = 0, transpose all terms to one side:

2x - y + 3 = 0
Here, a = 2, b = -1, and c = 3.

Answer: 2x - y + 3 = 0

Solution 3:

Given equation: 2(x + 3) - 3(y - 1) = 0


Simplifying the expression:

2x + 6 - 3y + 3 = 0

2x - 3y + 9 = 0 → 3y = 2x + 9 → y = (2x + 9)/3

Substituting arbitrary values for x to find four independent solutions:


• If x = 0: y = 9/ = 3 ⇒ Solution 1: (0, 3)
3
• If x = -3: y = (2(-3) + 9)/ = 3/ = 1 ⇒ Solution 2: (-3, 1)
3 3
• If x = 1: y = (2(1) + 9) /3 = /3 ⇒ Solution 3: (1, 11/3)
11

• If x = - /2: y = 0 ⇒ Solution 4: (- /2, 0)


9 9

Answer: (0, 3), (-3, 1), (1, 11/3), (-9/2, 0)

Solution 4:

Since the point (2k - 3, k + 2) lies on the graph of 2x + 3y + 15 = 0, substitute x = 2k - 3 and y = k + 2 into the
linear equation:

2(2k - 3) + 3(k + 2) + 15 = 0

4k - 6 + 3k + 6 + 15 = 0

7k + 15 = 0

7k = -15 → k = -15/7

Answer: k = -15/7

Solution 5:

Step 1: Determine the value of a


Substitute point (2, 3) into the first equation 3x - (a - 1)y = 2a - 1:

3(2) - (a - 1)(3) = 2a - 1

6 - 3a + 3 = 2a - 1

9 - 3a = 2a - 1 → 10 = 5a → a = 2
Step 2: Determine the value of b
Substitute a = 2, x = 2, and y = 3 into the second equation 5x + (1 - 2a)y = 3b:

5(2) + (1 - 2(2))(3) = 3b

10 + (1 - 4)(3) = 3b

10 + (-3)(3) = 3b

10 - 9 = 3b → 1 = 3b → b = 1/3

Answer: b = 1/3
