Question

solve for x and y by elimination method

a) x+y=14
x-y=4

Answer 1

x + y = 14
x - y = 4

(by adding)

2x = 18
x = 18/2
x = 9

(putting the value of x)

x + y = 14
(9) + y = 14
y = 14 - 9
y = 5

Answer 2

Hello Dear!!!

Here's your answer....

x+y=14

Let this equation be equation 1

x-y=4

Let this equation be equation 2.

Solve equation 1 and 2

You can either add or subtract the equations.

Let us subtract the equation...

x+y=14
x-y=4
_______
2y=10

y=10/2

Y=5

Substitute y=5 in equation 1

x+y=14

x+5=14

x=14-5

x=9

So, x=9 and y =5
