Answer:
x+y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
11x+3y=28 ------>1
3x+11y=14------->2
multiply 3 with eq 1
and
multiply 11 with eq 2
3(11x+3y=28)=33x+9y=84
11(3x+11y=14)=33x+121y=154
-112y=-70
112y=70
y=70/112
y=35/56=5/8
y=5/8
substitiute y value in eq 2
3x+11y=14
3x+11(5/8)=14
3x+55/8=14
24x+55=112
24x=112-55
24x=57
x=57/24
then x+y
57/24+5/8
(57+15)/8
72/8
=9
x+y=9
