Hope i helped :D

Answer 2

Given the system of equations, what is the solution?

x + 3y = 5

x - 3y = -1

The answer is {(2, 1)}

x=2 and y=1

Explanation:

We can find the solution in two ways,the first way is by term elimination the equations:

`x+3y=5 (1)\\x-3y=-1 (2)\\________\\`

`2x=4 (3)`

We can find x with the equation (3)

`x=(4)/(2)\\x=2`

Now we can replace x=2 in the equation (1) to find y

`x+3y=5 (1)\\2+3y=5\\3y=5-2\\3y=3\\y=(3)/(3)\\y=1`

Now, we have found x and y

x=2

y=1

The second way is clearing x from equation 1

`x+3y=5\\x=5-3y (4)`

Now, we can replace
`x=5-3y` in the equation (2)

`x-3y=-1 (2)\\(5-3y)-3y=-1\\5-6y=-1\\-6y=-6\\y=(-6)/(-6) \\y=1`

Now, we can replace y=1 in the equation (1), (2) or (4) to find x

We will use the equation (1)

`x+3y=5\\x+3(1)=5\\x+3=5\\x=5-3\\x=2`

We have verified that by the two forms x = 2 and y = 1
