Question

Solve the following system of equations using a method of your choice.

Write the solution as an ordered pair ( , ) and then you will be prompted to explain your thinking.
4x-2y=4
x+y=10

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cant remember what this method is called but

change the second equation to be y = something

x + y = 10

y = -x + 10

plug in this y= in the first equation to get x

4x -2(-x + 10) = 4

4x + 2x -20 = 4

6x = 24

x = 4

then plug in the x we found into the original second equation

4 + y = 10

y = 6

so your ordered pair would be (4,6)

hope this helps <3
