But what we

need to substitute….

Let us see

What is the difference between this sum and the sums done before this ?

Binomial terms in the denominator

So how to solve ?

By substituting

First let us number the equations.

Consider one of

the two equations

You can consider either of the two equations

It is better to consider simpler of the two equations

Let us consider equation (i)

Which equation is

to be considered ?

Consider (i) ,

2

5p

+

q

=

q

=

2

-

5p

Shift one of the two variables to the L.H.S so that we get equation in

the form of either

p = something or

q = something…

… (iii)

What is the name of the method ?

SUBSTITUTION method

So we need to

substitute something

Substitute what ?

Where ?

In the equation which was not considered.

Substituting (iii) in (ii)

p

=

8

40

p

=

1

How to get the

value of q ?

We have to

substitute p = 1/5

Let us substitute in

equation (iii)

In either (i) , (ii) or (iii)

x + y =

x = 4

, y = 2

Re substituting p =

x – y

Re substituting q =

Equation (iii)

Substituting p = in (iii), we get

This equation can be simplified further….

By dividing throughout by 2

Even after

Re substitution, we aren’t getting the answer

We are getting 2 more equations….solve these equations to get the answer
