Answer:
x = 1, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Original equations:
[tex]x+y=3\\2x+5y=12[/tex]
Substitute y and solve for x:
[tex]y=3-x\\2x+5y=12[/tex]
[tex]2x+5(3-x)=12[/tex]
[tex]2x+15-5x=12[/tex]
[tex]-3x=-3[/tex]
[tex]x=1[/tex]
Plug in x to solve for y:
[tex]1+y=3[/tex]
[tex]y=2[/tex]
x = 1, y = 2
Note: You can also substitute x and solve for y, then plug in y to solve for x. I did not do that here.
Answer:
x+y=3
x=3-y equation 1
2x+5y=12
2(3-y)+5y=12
6-2y+5y=12
6+3y=12
3y=12-6
y=6÷3
y=2 equation 2
again ,
putting value of equation 2 in equation 1
x=3-y
x=3-2
x=1
