Question

Solve the system of linear equations using either substitution or the elimination method.

2x+y=6
3x-y=4

Answer 1

x=2;y=2

Explanation:

2x+y=6..........1

3x-y=4............2

adding equation1 with equation 2

2x+y+3x-y=6+4

5x=10

x=10/5=2

substituting vslue of y in equation 1

2×2+y=6

y=6-4

y=2
