Question

Solve this simultaneous equation x+2y=11
x-2y=1

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation 1,

$x + 2y = 11$

Equation 2,

$x - 2y = 11$

Take equation number 2.

$x - 2y = 11 \\ x = 11 + 2y$

Substitute 'x' in Equation number 1.

$x + 2y = 11 \\ 11 + 2y + 2y = 11 \\ 11 + 4y = 11 \\ 4y = 11 - 11 \\ 4y = 0 \\ y = \frac{0}{4} \\ y = 0$

y = 0.

So x,

$x = 11 - 2y \\ x = 11 - 2(0) \\ x = 11 - 0 \\ x = 11$

x = 11.

Answer 2

Answer:

using elimination method multiply both equations by 2...then subtract equation 2 from 1
