Step 1
Given; Find the value of x in x + y = 9 and x - y = 2.
Step 2
Using the elimination method.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=9 \\ + \\ x-y=2 \\ --------- \\ 2x\text{ +0=11} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x=11 \\ x=\frac{11}{2} \\ x=5.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer;
[tex]x=5.5[/tex]
