You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+y=7......(1)
x-y=5......(2)
Add (1) and (2)
x+y=7
x-y=5
--------
2x=12
2x/2=12/2
x=6
Put the value of x in (1)
x+y=7
6+y=7
y=7-6
y=1
(x,y)=(6,1)
Check
========
x+y=7
Put the value of x and y in above equation
6+1=7
7=7


x-y=5
Put the value of x and y in above equation
6-1=5
5=5
