X+2y=14 and - x+3y=26

Solving by using the Equal Values Method

x = 2, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given x+2y=14 and - x+3y=26

Solving by using the Equal Values Method,

x + 2y = 14 = > x = 14-2y

-x + 3y = 26 = > x = 3y - 26

equating the above two we get,

3y-26 = 14 - 2y

3y + 2y - 14 + 26

5y = 40

y = 8

substituting value of y in any equation we get x = - 2

Hence the answer.
