1. Check whether \((5,-1)\) is a solution of the simultaneous equations \(x - 2y = 7\) and \(2x + 3y = 7\).
 
Proof:
 
\(x - 2y = 7\) ---- (\(1\))
 
\(2x + 3y = 7\) ---- (\(2\))
 
Substitute \(x =\)  and \(y =\)  in equations (\(1\)) and (\(2\)).
 
From (\(1\)), LHS  RHS.
 
From (\(2\)), LHS  RHS.
 
Since LHS  RHS in both the equations, then \((5,-1)\) is .
 
2. Solve the system of linear equations \(x + 3y = 16\) and \(2x - y = 4\) by substitution method.
 
Answer:
 
\(x =\)
 
\(y =\)
