Solve the simultaneous equations: 2x - y = 1, 3x + y = 14

Make y the subject of equation 1:y = 2x - 1Substitute this value of y into equation 2:3x + (2x - 1) = 14Simplify:5x - 1 = 14Solve for x:x = 3Substitute this value of x into original equation:2(3) - y = 1Simplify and solve for y:6 - y = 1y = 6 - 1y = 5
