Answer:
x = 5 and value of y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
using substitution method
let;
x + 4y = 13...................... equation 1
x - y = 3............................... equation 2
from equation 2
x - y = 3.................................... eqn 2
x = y + 3.......................................... equation 3
put x = y + 3 in equation 1
x + 4y = 13...................... equation 1
y + 3 + 4y = 13
5y = 13 - 3
5y = 10
divide both sides by 5
i.e
5y/5 = 10/5
y = 2
sustitue for y = 2 in equation 3
x = y + 3.......................................... equation 3
x = 2 + 3
x = 5
therefore the value of x = 5 and value of y = 2
to check if your answwer is correct slot in the value of x and y in any of the equation . e.g
from equation 3
x = y + 3.......................................... equation 3
5= 2 + 3
5 =5....................... proved
