Question 254478
Hello, 
There's a couple ways to solve this. Let's take the first equation:
x + y = 5
2x + y = 6
And rewrite it as
y = 5 - x
Now plug this into the second equation to give us:
2x +(5-x)=6 Now we can solve x
x+5=6 Subtract 5 from both sides will give us:
x=1 Now we can go back to the original equations and find y
1 + y = 5 Subtract 1 from both sides:
y =4
Plug in y=4 and x=1 into both equations and it will work out good!
