(2) x + y = 3; 3x + y = 7
Hint:
Substitute the value of x = 2 and y = 1 in the given equation.
(1) ⇒ x – y – 3 = 0
2 – 1 – 3 = 0
2 – 4 = 0
– 2 ≠ 0
not true

3x – y – 7 = 0
3(2) – 1 – 7 = 0
6 – 8 = 0
-2 ≠ 0

7 = 7
True
∴ (2, 1) is the point of intersection

(3) ⇒ 3x + y = 3
3(2) + 1 = 3
6 + 1 = 3
7 = 3
not true

x + y = 7
2 + 1 = 7
3 = 7
not true
