Question

If (x+y, x-y)=(5,3), find the value of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 4 and y is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x+y, x-y)=(5,3)

To find

x and y

By elimination method

we know,

if (x+y, x-y)=(5,3), then

x+y= 5 ----- 1

x-y= 3 ----- 2

Adding 1 and 2, we get

2x = 8

x = 4

Substituting x=4 in eq. 1, we get y is 1

So here you go, x is 4 and y is 1
