Question

Solve by elimination: 
3x = y + 5
5x – y = 11​

Answer 1

Answer:

we know that,

3x= y+5

5x= 11+y

NOW,

subtract both sides;

2x=11+y-y-5

2x=6

x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3 , y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations.

3x = y + 5

Rearraging equation:

3x - y = 5 ...(i)

5x – y = 11 ...(ii)

To find: Value of x and y:

Solution:

On subtracting eq. (i) and (ii), we obtain,

3x – y = 5

5x – y = 11

–     +     –

===============

– 2x = –6

or, x = 3

Putting x =3 in eq.(i):

3x - y = 5

3 (3) – y = 5

9 – 5 = y

or, y = 4

Therefore, x = 3 and y = 4.
