[tex] \huge \colorbox{yellow}{Question}[/tex]
[tex]x = y - 3[/tex]
[tex]2x + y = 12[/tex]
[tex] \huge \colorbox{yellow}{Answer}[/tex]
[tex]x = y - 3 \: (equation \: 1)[/tex]
[tex]2x + y = 12 \: (equation \: 2)[/tex]
Substituting the value of x in
( equation 2)
[tex]2x + y = 12[/tex]
[tex]2(y - 3) + y = 12[/tex]
[tex]2y - 6 + y = 12[/tex]
[tex]2y + y = 12 + 6[/tex]
[tex]3y = 18[/tex]
[tex]y = 18 \div 3[/tex]
[tex]y = 6[/tex]
Now we get y = 6
Substituting the value of y in
( equation 1 )
[tex]x = y - 3[/tex]
[tex]x = 6 - 3[/tex]
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
Now we get x = 3
