Answer:

(3, 2)

Explanation:

Solve this system of linear equations using elimination by addition/subtraction:

Combine these two equations:

x-y=1

x+y=5

The correct result is 2x = 6. Thus, x = 3.

If x = 3, then from the second equation we know that 3 + y = 5, or y = 2.

Thus, the solution is (3, 2).
