Open in App
Solution

5x-3y=14 ...(i)3x-5y=2 ...(ii)Here we observe that the coefficients of x and y in the first equation are interchanged in the second equation.Adding these two equations, we get: 5x-3y= 14 3x-5y= 2 8x-8y=16 8x-y=16 x-y=2 ...(iii)Subtracting eq (ii) from (i), we get: 5x-3y=14 3x-5y= 2 - + - 2x+2y =12 2 x+y =12 x+y=6 ...(iv) From (iii) and(iv) we get: x-y=2 and x+y=6
