Simultaneous Equations 1B4C8E
1. **State the problem:**
Solve the simultaneous equations:
$$4x + y = 14$$
$$x + 5y = 13$$
2. **Formula and method:**
We will use the substitution or elimination method to solve these linear equations.
3. **Step 1: Express $y$ from the first equation:**
$$y = 14 - 4x$$
4. **Step 2: Substitute $y$ into the second equation:**
$$x + 5(14 - 4x) = 13$$
5. **Step 3: Simplify and solve for $x$:**
$$x + 70 - 20x = 13$$
$$-19x + 70 = 13$$
$$-19x = 13 - 70$$
$$-19x = -57$$
$$x = \frac{-57}{-19} = 3$$
6. **Step 4: Substitute $x=3$ back into $y = 14 - 4x$ to find $y$:**
$$y = 14 - 4(3) = 14 - 12 = 2$$
7. **Final answer:**
The solution to the simultaneous equations is
$$x = 3, \quad y = 2$$
