Question

The solution of the pair of
equations 3x - y = 5 and x + 2y
= 4 is *
O x = 1, y = 2
O x = 2, y = 1
O x = 2, y = 2
O x = 1, y = 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2 and y=1

hope this helps

Answer 2

x = 2, y = 1

Explanation:

x + 2y = 4 => x = 4 - 2y

3x - y = 5 => 3(4 - 2y) - y = 5

=> (12 - 6y) - y = 5

=> 12 - 7y = 5

=> -7y = 5 - 12

=> -7y = -7 and y = 1

x = 4 - 2y => x = 4 - ( 2 * 1 )

=> x = 4 - 2

=> x = 2

Hence, x = 2 and y = 1
