ECZ 2016 · GCE Paper 1 — Algebra
Solve the simultaneous equations x + 4y = 16, x + y = 1.
- A. x = −4, y = 5
- B. x = 5, y = −4
- C. x = 4, y = 3
- D. x = 2, y = −1
Verified working — step 1
Subtracting the second equation from the first: 3y = 15, so y = 5. Then x = 1 − y = …The full step-by-step working and final answer are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
