x+y=14, x–y=4 solve the pair of linear equations by the substitution method
1. Solve the following pair of linear equations by the substitution method.
(i) x+y=14, x–y=4
Solution:
x+y=14--------(1)
x–y=4----------(2)
Let we take equation (1) and make x form
x+y=14
x=14-y--------(3)
Now substitute x in equation (2)
x–y=4
14-y-y=4
14-2y=4
14-4=2y
2y=10
Y=10/2=5
Y=5
Substitute y value in equation (3)
x=14-y
x=14-5=9
x=9, y=5
