Question

99x+101 y= 499; 101x+99y 501
​

Answer 1

see this solution...
X=3 and Y=2 is the solution from the given equations

Answer 2

Answer:

99x + 101y = 499 .....(I)

101x + 99y = 501 .....(II)

Adding (I) and (II)

200x+200y=1000

⇒x+y=5 .....(III)

Subtracting (II) from (I)

99x−101x+101y−99y=499−501

⇒−2x+2y=−2

⇒−x+y=−1 .....(IV)

Adding (III) and (IV)

x+y=5−x+y=−1

⇒2y=4

⇒y=2

Putting the value of y = 2 in (III) we get

x+2=5⇒x=5−2=3

Thus, (x, y) = (3, 2)
