Question 18 Solve simultaneously x + y = 6 6x - 5y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system:

Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 5 and add up equations:

Find y:

x = 4

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite  x + y = 6  to make y the subject:  

⇒ y = 6 - x

Substitute y = 6 - x   into  6x - 5y = 14  and solve for x:

⇒ 6x - 5(6 - x) = 14

⇒ 6x - 30 + 5x = 14

⇒ 11x - 30 = 14

⇒ 11x = 44

⇒ x = 4

Substitute  x = 4  into  x + y = 6  and solve for y:

⇒ 4 + y = 6

⇒ y = 2
