Answer 1

@AnmolSingh .. What about this one ?

Answer 2

Pick your favorite equation and your favorite variable in that equation. Then solve for that variable.
Whatever you get, substitute that into the OTHER equation. You'll get an equation with just one variable in it, so you can solve for that variable and, hey cool, you'll just get a number =D
Now, you can substitute that number into either of the first two equations to solve for the other variable. Give it a try and ask me any questions you have =)

Answer 20

well you can either substitute the value of one variable in the other equation or you can make the coefficent of one common variable in both the equations the same by multiplying that equation by a particular number.
