What is the solution to this system of equations using the linear combination

method?

4x + y = 5

3x + y=8

Answer: (2, - 3)

The solution of the equation 4x+y=5 and 3x+y=3 be (2, - 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the equations are.

4x+y=5

3x+y=3

Subtracted 3x+y=3 from 4x+y=5.

Thus

4x - 3x + y - y = 5 - 3

x = 2

Put in the equation 4x+y=5.

4 * 2 + y = 5

8 + y = 5

y = - 8 + 5

y = - 3

Therefore the solution of the equation 4x+y=5 and 3x+y=3 be (2, - 3).

(2, - 3)
