Question

Find the solution of the system of equations 3x+4y=10 and x−y=1. Give the x value followed by the y value, separated by a comma

Answer 1

Answer: the solution is (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is given as

3x+4y=10 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

x−y=1 - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 1 an equation 2 by 3. It becomes

3x + 4y = 10

3x - 3y = 3

Subtracting, it becomes

7y = 7

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 7, it becomes

7y/7 = 7/7

y = 1

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

x - 1 = 1

Adding 1 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x - 1 + 1= 1 + 1

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution of the system is (2,1).                                                          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following system of equation:

$3x+4y=10\\x - y = 1$

We would use the elimination method to solve the following system of equation.

Multiplying the second equation by 4 and adding the two equation we gwt:

$3x + 4y = 10\\4\times (x-y = 1)\\\Rightarrow 4x - 4y = 4\\\text{Adding equations}\\3x + 4y + (4x-4y) = 10 + 4\\7x = 14\\\Rightarrow x = 2\\\text{Substituting value of x in second equation}\\2 - y = 1\\\Rightarrow y = 1$

Solution of the system is (2,1).
