Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables Ex 3.2

Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables Ex 3.2 introduces the method of solving a pair of linear equations in two variables algebraically. In this exercise, students apply the method of substitution, where one equation is solved for one variable and substituted into the other. This forms the foundation for solving real-life mathematical problems using linear equations.
