Which one of the following is the solution of the system of equations given?
x + 2y = 7
x + y = 4
(A) x = 3, y = 2
(B) x = 2, y = 3
(C) x = 1, y = 3
(D) x = 3, y = 1
(E) x = 7, y = 1
x + 2y = 7
x + y = 4
(A) x = 3, y = 2
(B) x = 2, y = 3
(C) x = 1, y = 3
(D) x = 3, y = 1
(E) x = 7, y = 1

Subtract the 2nd equation from the 1st eqn
we get the value of \(y\) as \(x\) reduces to \(0\) so \(y = 3\)
Among ans choices only \(B\) and \(C\) has \(y =3\)so the correct ans must be one of those two
Now replace the value of \(y = 3\) in any one of the original eqn. Doing this will make \(x = 1\)
Therefore x=1 and y =3
option c

(E) x = 7, y = 1
Given
x + 2y = 7........................1
x + y = 4.........................2
Deduct 2 from 1 :
y = 3.
Now put the value of y into the 1.
x = 1.
The answer is C.
