Question

Solve the following simultaneous linear equations with Elimination Method.

3x = y + 5 ; x + y = 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3/2, y= -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x=y=5 → 3x-y=5 let this be equation 1.

x+y = 1 this is equation 2.

now by adding equations 1 and 2 ,

we get, 4x=6 (this eliminates y).

x=3/2

and substituting this value of x in equation 2,

3/2 + y =1

y= -1/2
