How to solve the two formulas for x+y=21 3x+4y=21

4 answers

you can use a substraction-or-addition method or substitude method.
So...
x+y=21 you multiply both side by 3 3x+3y=63
3x+4y=21
---------
then you eliminate one variable
you use the subtraction method
-y=42
y=-42
then you solve for x by substituting the y
x+(-42)=21
x=63
