Question

Write whether the following pair of linear
equations is consistent or not: x+y=14 & X-y=4​

Answer 1

The linear equation is consistent

Explanation:

X+y=14....(1)

X-y=4....(2)

Add (1) and (2)

2x=28

Divide both sides by 2

x=14

Substitute the value for x into (1)

14+y=14

Substrate 14 from both sides

y=0

So the linear equation is consistent
