Answer: \((x, y) = (4, 1)\)
Ordered pairs for \(x + y = 5\):
| \(x\) | \(0\) | \(5\) | \(4\) |
| \(y\) | \(5\) | \(0\) | \(1\) |
| \((x, y)\) | \((0, 5)\) | \((5, 0)\) | \((4, 1)\) |
Ordered pairs for \(x - y = 3\):
| \(x\) | \(3\) | \(0\) | \(4\) |
| \(y\) | \(0\) | \(-3\) | \(1\) |
| \((x, y)\) | \((3, 0)\) | \((0, -3)\) | \((4, 1)\) |
Plot both sets of points on the same graph paper (scale: 1 cm = 1 unit on both axes) and join each set to get two straight lines. The lines intersect at \((4, 1)\).
Check: \(1(4) + 1(1) = 5\) and \(1(4) + (-1)(1) = 3\) – both true.
