Rodney is given two linear equations: x – y = 11 and 2x + y = 19. what value of x should he get as a solution for this system of linear equations

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - y = 11 → (1)

2x + y = 19 → (2)

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

(x + 2x) + (- y + y) = (11 + 19), simplifying gives

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Rodney is given the following two linear equations and we are to find the value of x at which he would get a solution for this system of linear equations:

- (1)

- (2)

From (1):

Substituting this value of x in (2):

Substituting this value of y in (1) to find x:

x = 10
