Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
here's what we know:
a + b = 72
a - b = 26
We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:
a + b = 72
a - b = 26
---------------
2a = 98
Divide both sides by 2:
a = 49
So we now have:
49 + b = 72
and:
49 - b = 26
Subtract 49 from both sides:
b = 23
and
-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 3
x = 2y - 1
solve for y in the first equation;
2x + y = 3
y = 3 - 2x
x = 2y - 1
x = 2(3 - 2x) - 1
x = -4x + 5
solve for x;
x = -4x + 5
x + 4x = 5
5x = 5
x = 1
solve for y;
y = 3 - 2x
y = 3 - 2(1)
y = 1
the answer is: x = 1, y = 1
hope this helps, God bless!
