The solution of the simultaneous equations 3x - 2y = 5 and x + 2y = -1 is : 1. x = 1, y = 1 2. x = 1, y = -1 3. x = -1, y = 1 4. x = -1, y = -1

Given, Equations: 3x - 2y = 5, x + 2y = -1 ⇒ 3x - 2y = 5 ⇒ 3x - 5 = 2y ⇒ y = ....(1) Substituting value of y from equation (1) in x + 2y = -1, we get : ⇒ x + = -1 ⇒ x + 3x - 5 = -1 ⇒ 4x = -1 + 5 ⇒ 4x = 4 ⇒ x = ⇒ x = 1. Substituting value of x in equation (1), we get : Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
