If x = a and y = b is the solution of the equations x - y =2 and x + y = 4 , then the values of a and b are, respectively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given equation are
x - y = 2 …(1)
x + y = 4 …(2)
Adding, we get
2x = 6
implies x = 3
Put x = 3 in equation (2), we get
3 + y = 4
implies y = 1
`therefore` a = 3 and b = 1
