Question

Solve x + y = 8 and x – 2y = - 4 by Elimination method.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4, y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get,

x + y - x + 2y = 8 - (-4)

3y                  = 12

y                    = 4

Subtituting value of y in first equation, we get,

x + 4 = 8

x       = 4

Therefore, x = 4 and y = 4

I hope you find the solution helpful :)
