Two simultaneous equations
are given as 2x + y = 5 and 3x +
y = 7. Find the value of x and y.

using elimination method

2x + Y = 5

3x + Y = 7

subtracting equation 2..from 1

X = 2

then substitute X to get Y

2(2) + Y = 5

4 + Y = 5

Y = -1

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
