Question

Х+ 5y = 16 х+ Зу = 10 x=? y=?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1     y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5y=16

x+3y=10

2y=6

y=3

x+15=16

x=1

verify

1+9=10

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5y = 16 → (1)

x + 3y = 10 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 2y = 6

2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

x + 5(3) = 16

x + 15 = 16 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

x = 1
