Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

comparing corresponding elements

x + y = 13

2x – y = 2

Now use substitution method.

x + y = 13

x = 13 – y                 equation(i)

substitute the value of x

2x – y = 2

2(13 – y) – y = 2

26 – 2y – y = 2

-3y = 2 – 26

y = -24/-3

y = 8

substitute the value of y in eqaution(i)

x = 13 – y

x = 13 – 8

x = 5

therefore , x = 5 and y = 8

To check :

x + y = 13

when we add x and y then must come 13

5 + 8 = 13

13 = 13

2x – y = 13

substitute the value of x and y . REsult must come 2

2*5 – 8 = 2

10 – 8 = 2

2 = 2

10 – 8 = 2
