Here are the solutions to the simultaneous equations using both elimination and substitution methods.

1. Equations:

3x−y=8(1)3x - y = 8 \quad (1) 5x+y=13(2)5x + y = 13 \quad (2)
  • Elimination Method:

    Step 1: Add equation (1) and equation (2) to eliminate yy.

    (3x−y)+(5x+y)=8+13(3x - y) + (5x + y) = 8 + 13 8x=218x = 21 x=218x = \frac{21}{8}

    Step 2: Substitute the value of xx into equation (1).

    3(218)−y=83\left(\frac{21}{8}\right) - y = 8 638−y=8\frac{63}{8} - y = 8 y=638−648y = \frac{63}{8} - \frac{64}{8} y=−18y = -\frac{1}{8}

    The solution is x=218x = \boxed{\frac{21}{8}}, y=−18y = \boxed{-\frac{1}{8}}.

  • Substitution Method:

    Step 1: From equation (1), express yy in terms of xx.

    y=3x−8(3)y = 3x - 8 \quad (3)

    Step 2: Substitute equation (3) into equation (2).

    5x+(3x−8)=135x + (3x - 8) = 13 8x−8=138x - 8 = 13 8x=218x = 21 x=218x = \frac{21}{8}

    Step 3: Substitute the value of xx back into equation (3).

    y=3(218)−8y = 3\left(\frac{21}{8}\right) - 8 y=638−648y = \frac{63}{8} - \frac{64}{8} y=−18y = -\frac{1}{8}

    The solution is x=218x = \boxed{\frac{21}{8}}, y=−18y = \boxed{-\frac{1}{8}}.

2. Equations:

6x+2y=11(1)6x + 2y = 11 \quad (1) 2x+3y=1(2)2x + 3y = 1 \quad (2)
  • Elimination Method:

    Step 1: Multiply equation (2) by 3 to make the coefficients of xx equal.

    3(2x+3y)=3(1)3(2x + 3y) = 3(1) 6x+9y=3(3)6x + 9y = 3 \quad (3)

    Step 2: Subtract equation (3) from equation (1).

    (6x+2y)−(6x+9y)=11−3(6x + 2y) - (6x + 9y) = 11 - 3 −7y=8-7y = 8
