Algebra.Com's Answer #140384 by uday1435(57)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let us number these equations \n" ); document.write( "x+y=6 Eqn(1) \n" ); document.write( "x+3y=10 Eqn(2) \n" ); document.write( "Subtracting Eqn(1) from Eqn(2) we get \n" ); document.write( "2y = 4 Dividing both sides by 2 we get 2y/2 = 4/2 , so y = 2 \n" ); document.write( "Plugging in the value of y in Eqn(1) we get x + 2 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 2 from both sides we have x = 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is x = 4 and y = 2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you still require further clarifications please write to udayakumar.t.r@gmail.com \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
