Question

Solve by Elimination method

x + y = 14, x - y = 2

Answer 1

hey

I am meritkshitij here.

the coefficient of y in both equations r equal.

so the only thing u need to do is to simply add them.

2x=16

=>x=8 and y=6

glad to help u.

pls mark brainliest

Answer 2

Hello friend

___________________________


=). In the example

x + y = 14 .............( i )

x - y = 2 .................( ii )

Add the equation ( i) and ( ii) we get,

x + y = 14
x - y = 2
---------------
2x. = 16

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8


x = 8 taking equation (i ) we get,

x + y = 14

8 + y = 14

y = 14 - 8

y = 6


Therefore, x = 8 and y = 6 are the solution of the equation.


Thanks.
