1) 2x + 1 = 3y
2) 4 = 3y - 10 this can be re-written as 3y = 4 + 10
Therefore 2x + 1 = 4 + 10
2x = 13
x = 6.5
Sustitute x = 6.5 in equation 1) above
2x + 1 = 3y
2 (6.5) + 1 = 3y
therefore 3y = 13 +1
3y = 14
y = 14/3
Now substitute y = 14/3 in equation 2) above and watch what happens!
4 = 3(14/3) -10
4 = 4
Therefore the answer is correct!
By elimination: x = 3 and y = 0
y=16 x= -4
(2,-2)
The elimination method only works with simultaneous equations, hence another equation is needed here for it to be solvable.

You cannot solve one linear equation in two variables. You need two equations that are independent.
Yes and it works out that x = 3 and y = 4
The answer is that it cannot be done. To solve a set of equations in k variables (in this case, 2) you need at least two independent equations.
How do you solve 4y plus x equals 8
2x + 2y = 44x + y = 1There are many methods you can use to solve this system of equations (graphing, elimination, substitution, matrices)...but no matter what method you use, you should get x = -1/3 and y = 7/3.
-2 plus 5 equals +3
