X + 2y = 7
x - y = 1

Solve for x and y?

y=2

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

make x - y = 1 into x= y + 1

put that wherever x is in the other equation

so y + 1 + 2y =7. then combine like terms into 3y =6. then divide 6 by 3 so you get y = 2

then substitute 2 into the y in the equation x - y = 1 and you get x = 3

METHOD OF ELIMINATION:

Given pair of linear equations are:

x+2y= 7 – – – Eqn(i)

On comparing with a1x+b1y+c1 = 0

x-y = 1 – – – Eqn(ii)

On comparing with a2x+b2y+c2 = 0

a1/a2 = 1/1 = 1

b1/b2 = 2/-1 = -2

c1/c2 = -7/-1 = 7

We have,

a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2

So, Given pair of linear equations in two variables have a unique solution.

Now,

On Subtracting eqn(ii) from eqn(i) then

x+2y = 7

x-y = 1

(-)

0 +3y = 6

⇛ 3y = 6

⇛ y = 6/3

⇛ y = 2

On Substituting the value of y in (1) then

⇛ x-2 = 1

⇛ x = 1+2

⇛x = 3

Answer: Therefore , the value of x and y with be (3,2) respectively.

Additional comment:

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
