{5x+y=21x−y=3 \begin{cases}5x+y=21 \\ x-y=3\end{cases} {5x+y=21x−y=3
To solve the system of equations:
5x+y=21 5x+y=21 5x+y=21
x−y=3 x - y = 3 x−y=3
Let's solve the second equation for x x x:
x=y+3 x = y + 3 x=y+3
Substitute x=y+3 x = y + 3 x=y+3 into the first equation:
5(y+3)+y=21 5(y + 3) + y = 21 5(y+3)+y=21
Simplify:
5y+15+y=21 5y + 15 + y = 21 5y+15+y=21
6y=6 6y = 6 6y=6
y=1 y = 1 y=1
Now, substitute y=1 y = 1 y=1 back into x=y+3 x = y + 3 x=y+3:
x=1+3 x = 1 + 3 x=1+3
x=4 x = 4 x=4
Thus, the solution is x=4 x = 4 x=4, y=1 y = 1 y=1.
x=4 x = 4 x=4, y=1 y = 1 y=1
