Question

Find the value of x and y, (x+y, 2x-y)= (13, 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way to write  (x+y, 2x-y)= (13, 2) is

x + y = 13 -- (1)

2x - y = 2 -- (2)

using the elimilation method,

Rewriting (1), y = 13 - x --(1)'

Replacing (1)' into (2),

2x - ( 13 - x) = 2

2x - 13 + x = 2

3x = 15

x = 5 -- (3)

Replacing (3) into (1),

5 + y = 13

y = 8 -- (4)

Accorindg to (3) and (4),

x = 5, y = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

comparing corresponding elements

x + y = 13

2x - y = 2

Now use substitution method.

x + y = 13

x = 13 - y                 equation(i)

substitute the value of x

2x - y = 2

2(13 - y) - y = 2

26 - 2y - y = 2

-3y = 2 - 26

y = -24/-3

y = 8

substitute the value of y in eqaution(i)

x = 13 - y

x = 13 - 8

x = 5

therefore , x = 5 and y = 8

To check :

x + y = 13

when we add x and y then must come 13

5 + 8 = 13

13 = 13

2x - y = 13

substitute the value of x and y . REsult must come 2

2*5 - 8 = 2

10 - 8 = 2

2 = 2

10 - 8 = 2
