GCSE Maths Practice: simultaneous-equations

Question 6 of 10

Solve simultaneous equations using elimination method.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l} \text{Solve the simultaneous equations:} \\ 4 \times x + y = 17 \quad (1) \\ 2 \times x - y = 1 \quad (2) \end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

\( x = 3 \) \( y = 5 \) \( x = 4 \) \( y = 4 \)

Check both equations after solving for consistency.

Combine equations to eliminate one variable, then solve for the other.
