Question

Solve the system of equations below x - y = 5 2x - 3y = 4

Answer 1

x=11 y=6

Explanation:

making x the subject in the first equation we get

x=y+5 put that in the second equation we also get

2(y+5)-3y=4

2y+10-3y=4

-y=4-10

-y=-6

y=6 use that to also find x from the equation x=y+5 we get

x=6+5

x=11

therefore x=11 y=6
