Question

x + y = 5, x-y=3 solve the following simultaneous equations: ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations are x+y = 5 (1)   and x−y = 3 (2).

Now adding (1) and (2) we get,

2x=8

or, x=4.

Again subtracting (2) from ( 1) we get,

2y=2

y=1.

So the solution is x=4,y=1.
