Question

Solve the following using the substitution method and find the value of x and y:
4x – y = 14
3y = 6

  1. 1, 5 
  2. 4, 5
  3. 3, 5
  4. 4, 2

hintHint:

An equation with the maximum order of 1 and an equation of a straight line is called the linear equation. 

The correct answer is: 4, 2


    Step 1 of 1:
    We have given linear equations
    4x – y = 14……………. 1
    3y = 6……………….. 2

    From 2
    3y = 6
    y = 2
    Substituting y in 1st equation,
    4x – 2 = 14
    4x = 16
    x = 4

    The substitution method is the algebraic method to solve simultaneous linear equations
