Question

X=y+2 X=2y+1 Solving Systems of Equations by subtraction Please solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=3$

$y=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract the first equation from the second to find the value of $y$, although we can also do this vice versa.

$x-x=2y+1-y-2$

$y-1=0$

$y=1$

Now, we can use substitution to solve for $x$:

$x = y+2$ (pick any equation for substitution)

$x=1+2$

$x=3$

Hope this helps :)
