Solve the following pair of linear equations using substitution method


[tex] x-3y = 13[/tex]

[tex]x+2y=8[/tex]
​

Sagot :

Answer:

(10, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 13 → (1)

x + 2y = 8 → (2)

Rearrange (1) making x the subject by adding 3y to both sides

x = 3y + 13 → (3)

Substitute x = 3y + 13 into (2)

3y + 13 + 2y = 8

5y + 13 = 8 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

5y = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = - 1

Substitute y = - 1 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 3(- 1) + 13 = - 3 + 13 = 10

solution is (10, - 1 )
