Question

Solve the following set of simultaneous equations
3x-5y=16;x-3y=8​

Answer 1

answer = 2 .

i hope this helps you

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x - 5y = 16.......(1)$

$x - 3y = 8.........(2)$

$multiply \: in \: eqn \: (2) \: by \: 3$

$3x - 9y = 24......(3)$

now, solve the linear equations (3) and (1)

$3x - 9 y= 24$

$3x - 5y = 16$

$4y = 8$

$y = 2$

$3x - 9(2) = 24$

$3x - 18 = 24$

$3x - 18 - 24 = 0$

$3x = 42$

$x = 13$
