Add the equations: 51x + 23y = 116 and 23x + 51y = 106, leading to 74(x + y) = 222, so x + y = 3. Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate variables: (51 - 23)x + (23 - 51)y = 116 - 106, or 28x - 28y = 10, so x - y = 10/28 = 5/14.
For the system to have infinitely many solutions, the coefficients must be proportional. Therefore, we solve (k + 1)/2 = (2k - 1)/3 = (4k + 1)/7. Solving (k + 1)/2 = (2k - 1)/3 gives 3(k + 1) = 2(2k - 1), leading to k = 5. Checking with the third ratio, 3(4k + 1) = 7(k + 1) results in k = 5. All conditions are satisfied, confirming that k must equal 5.
Let the son’s age be S and father’s F. If S' = F, their future combined age 2F = 126 yields F = 63. From when F' = S, getting S + F = 38 gives S + 63 - S = 38, so S = 13. Son is 13 and father is 50.
Let the unit digit be x, then the tens digit is 3x. The number is 10(3x) + x = 31x. If reduced by 54, the number is reversed: 10x + 3x = 13x. Solving 31x - 54 = 13x gives 54 = 18x, so x = 3. The number is 31(3) = 93.
The system is inconsistent. Multiplying the first equation by 2 gives 6x - 10y = 40, which is inconsistent with the second equation 6x - 10y = -40 since 40 is not equal to -40.
First, express y in terms of x from x – y + 1 = 0, so y = x + 1. Substituting this into 4x + 3y - 10 = 0 gives 4x + 3(x + 1) - 10 = 0. Simplifying, 7x = 7, thus x = 1. Substitute x back to get y = 2. The solution is (1, 2).
Substitute x = 3 into the equation 2x – 3y = 5, resulting in 6 - 3a = 5. Solving, we find a = 1/3.
Let the number of rows be r and students in each row be s. Original setup is rs students. Adding a student alters it: (r-2)(s+1)=rs, solving rs-rs-2s+r+2=0 gives rs=2s-r. Removing renders: (r+3)(s-1)=rs. Solving these yields students = 60.
Let x be the cost of one chair and y the cost of one table. Equations are 4x + 3y = 2100 and 5x + 2y = 1750. Eliminating y from equations, using cross multiplication or matrix method, results in x = ₹250 and y = ₹400.
Substitute x = 3 and y = 1 into the first equation: 3 – 4(1) + p = 0, thus p = 1. Substitute x = 3 and y = 1 into the second equation: 2(3) + 1 – q – 2 = 0, giving q = 5. Thus, the relation is p = 1 and q = 5 as y = 1 is already known.
