The correct Answer is:
To solve the system of linear equations using the elimination method, we have the following equations: 1. \( 41x + 53y = 135 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 53x + 41y = 147 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 1: Multiply the equations to align coefficients To eliminate one of the variables, we can multiply both equations by suitable numbers so that the coefficients of one variable are the same. - Multiply Equation 1 by \( 53 \): \[ 53(41x + 53y) = 53(135) \] This gives us: \[ 2153x + 2809y = 7155 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] - Multiply Equation 2 by \( 41 \): \[ 41(53x + 41y) = 41(147) \] This gives us: \[ 2153x + 1681y = 6037 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 2: Subtract the equations Now we will subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3 to eliminate \( x \): \[ (2153x + 2809y) - (2153x + 1681y) = 7155 - 6037 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2809y - 1681y = 7155 - 6037 \] \[ 1128y = 1118 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( y \) Now, divide both sides by \( 1128 \): \[ y = \frac{1118}{1128} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( y \) back into one of the original equations Now that we have \( y \), we can substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \( x \): \[ 41x + 53(1) = 135 \] This simplifies to: \[ 41x + 53 = 135 \] Subtract \( 53 \) from both sides: \[ 41x = 135 - 53 \] \[ 41x = 82 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by \( 41 \): \[ x = \frac{82}{41} = 2 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ x = 2, \quad y = 1 \]
