4x - 2y = 33

x + 2y = 17

How to solve by using elimination

X=10, Y = 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-2y=33 ... i

X+2y=17 ... ii

Adding equation I and ii

5x=50 divide both side by 5x

X=10

Substitute 10 for x in equation I we have,

10+2y=17

2y=17-10, collect the like term

2y=7 divide bother sides by 2

y=7/2, further division give us

Y = 3 1/2.
