Question

3x + 2y = 14. X + y = 5. Work put the values of x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 , y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 14 → (1)

x + y = 5 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y

4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 1
