Find the value of x and y
X+y=25
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
X+Y=25……(1)
X-Y=5…..(2)
Now just add equation 1 and 2 (as you can see that +Y and -Y will cancel out and that is the reason addition is used in such cases)
So adding both eq.1 and eq.2 we have,
2X=30(Since,Y cancels out)
Hence,X=30÷2=15
Now put the value of X any of those above equations (both will give you the same result)
Therefore putting in eq.1,
X+Y=25
15+Y=25
Y=25–15=10
So,X=15
Y=10
Put both values in the equation to check if you are correct or not

X+y=25 and X-y=5. What is the value of X and y?
The two equations are given as below
X + y = 25 . . Eq..1
X - y = 5. . Eq..2
The value of X from Eq..2
X - y = 5
X = 5 + y
Substituting the value of X in Eq..1
X + y = 25
5 + y + y = 25
5 + 2y = 25
2y = 25 - 5
2y = 20
y = 20/2
y = 10
Substituting the value of y in Eq..2 to derive value of X
X - y = 5
X - 10 = 5
X = 5 + 10
X = 15
The value of X is 15 and the value of y is 10
Answer :The value of X is 15 and the value of y is 10
