Question

1. What is the solution to the system below? x+y=5 1x- y=3

Answer 1

Answer:

(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

x- y=3

Add the equations together to eliminate y

x+y=5

x- y=3

--------------------

2x = 8

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

Now we can find y

x+y = 5

4+y = 5

Subtract 4 from each side

4+y-4 = 5-4

y =1
