Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x  + y = 11 -------------------(I)

3x - y = 9 -----------------(II)

Add equation (I) & (II)

   5x + y = 11

   3x - y = 9        {add and y will be eliminated and we'll get the value of x}

  8x       = 20

          x = 20/8

         x = 2.5

Plugin x = 2.5 in equation (I)

5*2.5 + y = 11

 12.5  + y = 11

            y = 11 - 12.5

            y = -1.5

After solving the equations simultaneously we get the value [tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}[/tex].

What are equations ?

An equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign .

We have,

[tex]5x + y = 11[/tex]   [tex].......... (i)[/tex]

[tex]3x - y = 9[/tex]   [tex]...........(ii)[/tex]

To solve we will multiply equation [tex](i)[/tex] by [tex]3[/tex] and equation [tex](ii)[/tex] by [tex]5[/tex],

[tex]15x + 3y = 33[/tex]   [tex]..........(iii)[/tex]

[tex]15x -5y = 45[/tex]   [tex]..........(iv)[/tex]

Now, adding both equations [tex](iii)[/tex] and [tex](iv)[/tex] ,

We get,

[tex]8y=-12[/tex]

[tex]y=-\frac{3}{2} =1.5[/tex]

Now putting value of [tex]y=-\frac{3}{2} =1.5[/tex] in equation [tex](i)[/tex] ,

[tex]5x+(\frac{-3}{2} )=11[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

So, using the elimination method we find out the value [tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}[/tex], which was find out simultaneously.

Hence, we can say that after solving the equations simultaneously we get the value [tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}[/tex].
