Question

41x + 53y=135
53x +41y=147
find the value of x and y using elimination method​

Answer 1

Answer:

41x+53y=135...(1)

53x+41y=147...(2)

Adding equation (1)and(2)

41x+53=135

+53x+41y=147

94x+94y=282

Subtracting equation (2)and(1)

41x+53y=135

-53x+41y=147

- - -

-12x+12y=-12

Dividing by 12

-x+y=-1 ....(4)

Adding (3)and(4)

x+y=3

+ -x+y=-1

2y=2

y=1

From (3)

x+y=3

x+1=3

x=2
