x+ y = 5 2x-y = 4 solve x and y

x+ y = 5   

2x - y =
4 

First multiply everything in the first equation by 2
.

By multiplying everything in the first equation by 2 ,
you should get :

2x + 2y =
10

2x - y = 4 now subtract the two equation
.

By subtracting the two equations , you should get
:

3y = 6 divide both sides by 3
.

By dividing both sides by 3 , you should get
:

y = 2 which is your answer for " y
" 

Now plug " y " into one of the
equation 

x + 2 = 5 subtract both sides by 2
.

By subtracting both sides by 2 , you should
get

x = 3 which is your answer for " x
" 

So " x " equals to 3 and " y " equals to
2
