The solution for the given equations x + 3y = 5 and x - 3y = -1 are x=2 and y=1.

Explanation:

The given is,


x+3y=5......................................(1)


x-3y=-1....................................(2)

Step:1

By elimination method,

Subtracting Equations (1) and (2),


x+3y=5


x-3y=-1

( - )

(
x-x ) + (
3y+3y ) = (
5 +1 )


6y = 6


y = 1

Step:2

Substitute the value of y in equation (1),


x+3y=5


x + ( 3 × 1 ) = 5


x = 5-3


x = 2

Step:3

Check for Solution,

Substitute the values of x and y in Eqn (1),


x+3y=5

2 + ( 3 × 1 ) = 5

5 = 5

Result:

The solution for the given equations x + 3y = 5 and x - 3y = -1 are x=2 and y=1, by elimination method.
