Solve for x and y
4x+y=23
3x-y=12

y = 3, x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

4x+y=23

3x-y=12

Suppose,

4x+y=23→(1)

and 3x-y=12→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

4x+y=23

⇒y= -4x+23→(3)

Putting y= -4x+23 in equation (2), we get

3x-y=12

3x-1(-4x+23)=12

⇒3x+4x-23=12

⇒7x-23=12

⇒7x=12+23

⇒7x=35

⇒x=5→(4)

Now, Putting x=5 in equation (3), we get

y=-4x+23

⇒y=-4(5)+23

⇒y=-20+23

⇒y=3

∴y=3 and x=5
