Question

Solve the system 3x – 2y = 1 2x + 2y = 4

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 2y = 1 → (1)

2x + 2y = 4 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term, eliminates the term in y

5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y

(2 × 1) + 2y = 4

2 + 2y = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2y = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 1
