Question

solve the substitution x minus Y is equal to 2 and 3 X + 2 Y is equal to 16

Answer 1

x-y=2 and 3x+2y=16
x=2+y

now, substituting the value of x

3(2+y)+2y=16
6+3y+2y=16
5y=16-6
5y=10
y=10/5
y=2

x=2+y
x=2+2
x=4

thus, value of x is 4 and y is 2

Answer 2

Ahoy user!

Your question:-
x-y = 2
3x+2y = 16


The answer by substitution method:-

x- y= 2

=> x = 2+y.........(i)

3x+2y = 16 ...........(ii)


On putting the value of eq (i) in (ii)
We get,

3(2+y) + 2y = 16

=> 6+3y+2y = 16

=> 6+5y=16

=>5y = 16-6

=> 5y = 10

=> y =2

and so x = y+2
=> 2+2=4

hope this helps!
