To solve the system of equations using the method of addition, we need to add the two equations together to eliminate one of the variables. Let's add the two equations:
\(11x + y + 3x - y = 23 + 5\)
This simplifies to:
\(14x = 28\)
Now divide by 14 to find the value of x:
\(x = 2\)
Now substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to solve for y. Let's use the first equation:
\(11(2) + y = 23\)
\(22 + y = 23\)
\(y = 1\)
So, the solution to the system of equations is \(x = 2\) and \(y = 1\).
