Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables

Question
CBSEENMA10006460

On comparing the ratios straight a subscript 1 over straight a subscript 2 comma straight b subscript 1 over straight b subscript 2 space and space straight c subscript 1 over straight c subscript 2 find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent.

4 over 3 straight x space plus space 2 straight y equals 8 space semicolon space 2 straight x space plus space 3 straight y equals space 12

Solution
4 over 3 straight x space plus space 2 straight y equals 8 space semicolon space 2 straight x space plus space 3 straight y equals space 12


Hence, the given lines are consistent. So the given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions and therefore it is consistent.
