Sole the equations for (x, y) 3x+y=1 and

x-y = - 5

( - 1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + y = 1 → (1)

x - y = - 5 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates the term in y, that is

(3x + x) + (y - y) = (1 - 5), simplifying gives

4x = - 4 (divide both sides by 4)

x = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting in (1)

3 ( - 1) + y = 1

- 3 + y = 1 (add 3 to both sides)

y = 4

Solution is ( - 1, 4)
