Solutions
Possible
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer
x + y = 5
x - y = -3
That means that
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer
x + y = 5
x - y = -3
That means that
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer

if I put 1 in for x

x + y = 5
x - y = -3
That means that
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer

if I put 1 in for x

and 4 in for y
x + y = 5
x - y = -3
That means that
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer

if I put 1 in for x

and 4 in for y
both equations will be correct
x + y = 5
x - y = -3
That means that
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer

if I put 1 in for x

and 4 in for y
both equations will be correct
x + y = 5
x - y = -3
1 + 4 = 5
That means that
x = 1 and y = 4 is the answer

if I put 1 in for x

and 4 in for y
both equations will be correct
x + y = 5
x - y = -3
1 + 4 = 5
1 - 4 = -3
