3x-2y=1 how to find the value of x and y?
HI,
I am very weak in match, i have equation like
1. 3x-2y=1 h
2. 3x+y = x+3
Please help

Hi;
What is that h doing there?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

I do not understand, aren't you solving a simultaneous set of linear equations? What has that to do with set theory? Is that h a variable?

quiz is this . find x and y if (3x+y, x-1) = (x+3, 2y-2x)
sorry h is mistake , h is nothing

I am getting x = 1 and y = 1.

yes, perfect, is there any method or something else to find value of x and y?

There are several methods:
Form the simultaneous set:
Do you know how to solve that?

Clean this one up a bit by subtracting x from both sides.
Clean up the second one
Add 2x to both sides
Subtract 2y from both sides.
Add one to both sides
We now have

Just trying to get it into the form of all the variables on the left and all the numbers on the right so we can make the next bunch of moves.

ok, but what will be the next step to find x value?

Re: 3x-2y=1 how to find the value of x and y?
We would like to subtract or add the bottom equation from the top one and make one variable disappear. But when I do that 2x - 3x = x, that did not disappear and y + (-2y) = y so no luck there either.
If I multiply the top equation by 3 I get
Now if I multiply the second equation by 2 I get
So I have changed the equations again to
