Answer:

  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a "sum and difference" system of equations can be found by adding the equations together.

  (x +y) +(x -y) = (-10) +(2)

  2x = -8 . . . . . . simplify

  x = -4 . . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

Additional comment

 y = -6, though this question did not ask that value.

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 20.3 centimeters. The length of the hypotenuse is
meriva
<h3>Answer:  Approximately 23.0 cm</h3>

=====================================================

Work Shown:

a = 20.3

b = unknown

c = 30.7

Apply the pythagorean theorem to find b

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(20.3)^2 + b^2 = (30.7)^2

412.09 + b^2 = 942.49

b^2 = 942.49-412.09

b^2 = 530.4

b = sqrt(530.4)

b = 23.0304146727757  value is approximate

b = 23.0

I rounded to one decimal place because the other values (20.3 and 30.7) were to one decimal place.
