❓ Solve the following pair of linear equations by the elimination method and the substitution method : (i) x + y = 5 and 2x – 3y = 4 (ii) 3x + 4y = 10 and 2x – 2y = 2 (iii) 3x – 5y – 4 = 0 and 9x = 2y + 7 <br> (iv) x/2 + 2y/3 =-1; x-y/3=3

❓ Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions (if they exist) by the elimination method : (i) If we add 1 to the numerator and subtract 1 from the denominator, a fraction reduces to 1. It becomes 1 2 if we only add 1 to the denominator. What is the fraction?<br> (ii) Five years ago, Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. Ten years later, Nuri will be twice as old as Sonu. How old are Nuri and Sonu?<br> (iii) The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. Also, nine times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits. Find the number.<br> (iv) Meena went to a bank to withdraw ` 2000. She asked the cashier to give her ` 50 and ` 100 notes only. Meena got 25 notes in all. Find how many notes of ` 50 and ` 100 she received.<br> (v) A lending library has a fixed charge for the first three days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. Saritha paid ` 27 for a book kept for seven days, while Susy paid ` 21 for the book she kept for five days. Find the fixed charge and the charge for each extra day.
