Answer:
(5, 1 )
Explanation:
3x + 3y = 18 → (1)
5x + 3y = 28 → (2)
subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y
(5x - 3x) + (3y - 3y) = 28 - 18
2x + 0 = 10
2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 5
substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
substituting into (1)
3(5) + 3y = 18
15 + 3y = 18 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
3y = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 1
solution is (5, 1 )
