Question

Solve the following:
x-16y=0 ; x+y=1

Answer 1

x-16y=0

x+y=1

by elimination

-17y=-1

y=1/17

substitute in x

x-16x1/17=0

17x-16=0

x=16/17

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

X-16Y=0 ...1

x+y=1 ...2

by putting the first equation

x-16y=0 as x=16y and put it in the 2nd equation u will get as follows:

x+y=1

16y+y=1

17y=1

y=1/17

after getting y take out the value of x

x+y=1

x+1/17=1

x=1-1/17

x=17-1/17

x=16/17
