Question

19x+17y=13
17x+19y=23
solve x =?
y=?
by Removal Method​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+13y=27....(i)

13x+7y=33....(ii)

Multiplying by 13 and 7 in equation (i) and (ii) respectively, we get

91x+169y=351

y=1

Put the value of y in equation (i), we get

7x+13×1=27

⇒7x=27−13

⇒7x=14

⇒x=2

Then x+y=2+1=3.
