|---|---|---|---|
| [\(x =\)] 7 [\(y =\)] 4 final answer | 3 | M1 for correct method to eliminate one variable A1 for \(x = 7\) A1 for \(y = 4\) If 0 scored SC1 for a pair of values that satisfies one of the original equations | Allow one error Or correct substitution of one equation into the other and getting to \(kx = n\) Correct answer from trials scores 3 |
