2x + y = 7 ---> ( 1st equation )
-x + y = 1  ---> ( 2nd equation)

Let's solve this problem by substitution method
So let's set 2nd equation to y equals
-x + y = 1   ---> ( 2nd equation)
adding x on both sides 
y = 1 + x   ---> (3rd Equation )

Substituting the value of y in equation 1
2x + x + 1 = 7
subtracting 1 from both sides
2x + x = 6
adding like terms on the left side
3x = 6
dividing both sides by 3
x = 2

Substituting the value of x in 2nd equation
-x + y = 1
-2 + y = 1
adding 2 on both sides
y = 1 + 2
y = 3

So, our answer is x = 2
                               y = 3

To check the answer pick any equation and substitute the values of x and y check check if it is equal to Right hand side
2(2) + 3 = 7 ( substituting in 1st equation) 
4 + 3 = 7
7 = 7 

-2 + 3 = 1 ( substituting in 2nd equation)
1 = 1 

Hence proved.

Hope this helps you.  :D

2x+y=7
-x+y =1 --> y = 1+x

Substitution y -->
2x+1+x=7;
3x+1=7;
3x=6;
x=2
y=1+2=3

x=2, y=3

igomit [66]

Solution:

The three powers whose value is greater than 500 and less than 550 can be find by following procedure.

We will solve this problem by Hit and trial method by finding the squares, cubes, fourth power, Fifth Power,...etc. of different natural numbers.

23²= 529

8³ = 8 × 8 × 8 =512

2^8=512

The three powers are →→→Eighth power of 2, Square of 23, and Cube of 8.
