What is the solution to the linear equation 2xy1 and 3x y 6?

To solve the linear equations given, first, we need to clarify the equations as there seems to be some confusion in the notation. Assuming the intended equations are:

  • 2x + y = 1
  • 3x + y = 6

We can solve these equations using the method of substitution or elimination. Let’s use the elimination method here.

  1. From the first equation, we can express y in terms of x:
    • y = 1 – 2x
  2. Now, substitute this expression for y into the second equation:
    • 3x + (1 – 2x) = 6
  3. Simplifying that gives:
    • 3x + 1 – 2x = 6
    • x + 1 = 6
    • x = 5
  4. Now that we have the value of x, substitute it back into the equation for y:
    • y = 1 – 2(5)
    • y = 1 – 10
    • y = -9

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

  • x = 5
  • y = -9

In conclusion, the pair (5, -9) satisfies both equations, making it the solution to the linear system.
