solve by using elimination method
x+3y=3 ----(1)
x+6y=3 ----(2)
We observe that in both the equations the coefficient of x is 1
So (1) - (2) will eliminate x
(x-x)+(3y-6y)= (3-3)
0-3y = 0
(-3)y =0
y= 0/(-3) =0
Putting y=0 in (1)
x+3y =3
x+0=3
x=3
Answer: x= 3 and y=0
Verification:
The equations and the values are so simple oral verification will do.
The values are found to be correct.
