x + y= 8
+ +
u - v = 6
= =
13 8
x + y = 8
u - v = 6
x + u = 13
y + v = 8
WolframAlpha gives the following solutions for this system........u = 19/2 and v = 7/2 and x = 7/2 and y = 9/2
I didn't have time to work this out before....let me do so now.....
x + y = 8 (1)
u - v = 6 (2)
x + u = 13 (3)
y + v = 8 (4)
Multiply (3) by -1 and add to (1) → y - u = -5 (5)
Add (2) and (4) → y + u = 14 (6)
Add (5) and (6) → 2y = 9 → y = 9/2
Using (6), u = 14 - 9/2 = 19/2
Using (1), x = 8 - 9/2 = 7/2
Using (4). v = 8 - 9/2 = 7/2
