Answer: x = 3 and y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - x + 4 ............... equation 1
y = x - 2 ............. equation 2
Solving the linear equation by substitution method , we have :
substitute equation 2 into equation 1 , that is
x - 2 = - x + 4
Add 2 to both sides , we have
x = -x + 4 + 2
Add x to both sides , we have
2x = 6
divide through by 2
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into equation 2 to find the value of y , we have
y = x - 2
y = 3 - 2
y = 1
Therefore : x = 3 and y = 1
