Question

Using elimination method.
1:x+y=16
x-y=0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8 and y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving equations:

     x + y  = 16

     x - y = 0

Unknown:

Find the values of x and y= ?

Solution:

      x + y  = 16  ---- (i)

      x - y = 0   ------(ii)

Add i and ii:

      2x  = 16

         x = 8

Subtract i and ii;

         2y = 16

            y = 8
