Question

Solve the following system of linear equations using elimination. 3r- y=5 x=y=1

Answer 1

3x - y = 5 Equation l

x - y = 1 Equation ll

By elimination

-Multiply equation l by -1

-3x + y = -5

x - y = 1

-2x = -4

Solve for x

x = -4/-2

x = 2

-Find y

2 - y = 1

-y = 1 - 2

-y = -1

y = -1/-1

y = 1

Solurtion: x = 2, y = 1
