Question

solve the following set of simultaneous equation 3x-5y=16, x-3y=8 with elimination method​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly multiply equation x-3y=8 with 3

so we will get 3x-9y=24

subtract the equations

then 3x gets cancelled

-2y=8

y=8+2

y=10

substitute y value in equation 3x-5y=16

3x-5(10)=16

3x-50=16

3x=16+50

3x=66

x=66/3

x=22

so

x=22 and y=10
