Solve for x and y:x + y = 3,4x – 3y = 26. |
|
Answer» x + y = 3 ……..(1) 4x – 3y = 26 ……(2) Isolate x from equation (1), we get x = 3 – y Substituting the value of x in equation (2), 4(3 – y) – 3y = 26 12 – 4y – 3y = 26 -7y = 14 y = -2 Solve for x: x = 3 – y = 3 – (-2) = 5 Answer: x = 5 and y = -2 |
