Solve for x and y

Given pair of linear equations is

…(i)

And …(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 to make the coefficients equal of second term, we get the equation as

…(iii)

On adding Eq. (ii) and Eq. (iii), we get

⇒ x – 1 = 3

⇒ x = 3 + 1

⇒ x = 4

On putting the value of x = 4 in Eq. (ii), we get

⇒ (y – 2) = 3

⇒ y = 3 + 2

⇒ y = 5

Hence, x = 4 and y = 5 , which is the required solution.
