Question

If the ordered pair (x, y) is the solution for the system of equations, what is the value of y? x + y = 29 x + 2y = 12

Answer 1

(46 , -17)

Explanation:

hello :

x + y = 29...(*)

x + 2y = 12 ...(**)

multiply (*) by -1 : -x-y=-29 ...(***)

add (**) and(***) : y=-17

put this value in (*) : x-17 =29

so : x=46

one solution : (46 , -17)
