X+ y = 5 ; x - y =3 solve using linear combination

x = 4

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

use one equation to solve for one variable.

y = 5 - x

Now plug the value of y in the other equation

x - (5-x) = 3

x+x= 3+5

2x=8

x=4

Now use the value of x to find the value of y on the first equation

y = 5 - x

y = 5 - 4

y = 1

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
