2. Method of Eliminations
3. Method of Cross Multiplication
4. Graphical Method
In this question,
We prefer here Method of Eliminations :-
To solve systems using elimination, follow this procedure:
The Elimination Method
Step 1: Multiply each equation by a suitable number so that the two equations have the same leading coefficient.
Step 2: Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate one variable
Step 3: Solve this new equation for other variable.
Step 4: Substitute the value of variable thus evaluated into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 and get the value other variable.
