x - y = 5
2x + y = 7 (use the substitution method)

y = x - 5
2x + y = 7 (substitute x - 5 for y into the second equation)

2x + y = 7
2x + x - 5 = 7
3x = 12
x = 4

Thus x = 4 satisfies both the equations of the system.

you need two equations to answer it, or you need to know the value of x.


What is the value of x in the following linear equations y equals 2x - 1 y equals x plus 1?

For both equations to be stisfied, set equal to each other: 2x-1 = x + 1 To get x by itself subtract x from both sides and add 1 to both sides x = 2

Solve the simultanius equations 3x - y equals 11 and x plus y equals 5?

3x-y = 11 x+y = 5 Add both equations together: 4x = 16 Divide both sides by 4 to find the value of x: x = 4 Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y: Therefore: x = 4 and y = 1
