Question 187277:  x+y=6 
x+3y=10 
 Answer by uday1435(57)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Let us number these equations 
x+y=6		Eqn(1) 
x+3y=10		Eqn(2) 
Subtracting Eqn(1) from Eqn(2) we get 
2y = 4 Dividing both sides by 2 we get 2y/2 = 4/2 , so y = 2 
Plugging in the value of y in Eqn(1) we get x + 2 = 6 
Subtracting 2 from both sides we have x = 4
 
So the answer is x = 4 and y = 2
