Justify elimination: replacing one equation in a two-variable system with a linear combination preserves solutions.

Show that an original system and transformed system share the same ordered-pair solution

Problem

Solve the original system \(2x~+~y~=~8\) and \(x~+~y~=~5\) and the transformed system \(x~=~3\) and \(x~+~y~=~5\). Give the shared ordered-pair solution and verify it in both systems.
