Question

Substitution method x+6/y=6
3x-8/y=5 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3 and y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:x+6/y=6 ....(1)

:3x-8/y=5 ..(2)

from (1), x= 6-(6/y)

substituting value of x in eq (2),we get;

3{6-(6/y)} -8/y = 5

Or, 18- (18/y)-(8/y) = 5

Or, 18-5 = (18+8)/y

or, 13 = 26/y

or, y= 26/13 = 2

substituting y=2 in (1),we get;

x+6/2=6 ; Or, x= 6-3 =3

Hence, By using substituting method we get x =3 and y= 2.
