Write a system of equations:

\

Let the two numbers are $\"\"$ .

\

Three times a number minus another number is $\"\"$ then the equation $\"\"$ .

\

The sum of these two numbers is 11 then the equation $\"\"$ .

\

Elimination method:

\

The system of equations are

\

$\"\"$ ----------(1)

\

$\"\"$ ----------(2)

\

In the above system the coefficients of y - variable are opposite. $\"\"$

\

Add the equations to eliminate the y - variable and solve the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by 4.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The value of $\"\"$ substitute in either equation to find y.

\

Second equation: $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Subtract 2 from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
