QUESTION 1
The given system of equations is
To solve by linear combination, we add equation (1) to equation (2) to get,
We divide through by 4 to obtain,
We put d=3 into equation (2) to get,
QUESTION 2
The given system is
4x + y = 5 ...eqn(1)
3x + y = 3 ...eqn(2)
To solve by linear combination, we subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to eliminate y from the equation.
This will give us,
This implies that,
Put x=3 into equation (1) to get,
The solution is
QUESTION 3
