Another one that has me confused is this:
{X+Y=13
{X-Y=2
I have tried it a couple times before, but I'm quite sure they aren't correct. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
y = 3 -2 x
-3 x -7 y = 1 .....................2
Substitute y in (2)
-3 x -7 ( 3 -2 x ) = 1
-3 x -21 + 14 x = 1
-3 x 14 x = 22
11 x = 22
/ 11
x= 2
Plug the value of x in (1)
2 x + y = 3
2 * 2 + 1 y = 3
4 + 1 y = 3
y = -1
/ 1
y= -1
--------------
x+y=13
x-y=2
in the second equation
y=x-2substitute y in (1)
x+(x-2)=13
2x-2=13
2x=15
x=15/2
Plug x in (2)
x-y=2
(15/2)-y=2
y= 15/2 -2
y=11/2
