Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

These equations line up quite nicely, so let's use the elimination method.

x+y=5

+ x-y=1

-------------

2x=6.

Now that we added the two equations together, we only have x as a variable to solve. We now divide 2 from both sides

x=3.

Now we take our 3 and substitute it into one of the equations. I want to put it in the first one.

3+y=5.

We subtract 3 from both sides to get y=2.

We end up with the answers x=3 and y=2. If you plug them in to check, they make sense. 3+2=5 and 3-2=1. This answer is proven to be correct.

Have a nice day :)
