Answer:
x=1 y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
x+5y=16
x+3y=10
2y=6
y=3
x+15=16
x=1
verify
1+9=10
Answer:
x = 1 , y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5y = 16 → (1)
x + 3y = 10 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate x
0 + 2y = 6
2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
x + 5(3) = 16
x + 15 = 16 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
x = 1
