Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

x + y = 2

x - y = 6

Solution

Just add the two equations together. The y's will drop out.

x + y = 2

<u>x - y = 6 </u>             Add

2x = 8                 Divide by 2

2x/2 = 8/2          Combine

x = 4                   Substitute x = 4 into the top equation

x + y = 2

4 + y = 2             Subtract 4 from both sides

4-4+y=2-4          Combine

y = - 2    

Answer

x = 4

y = -2

Find the value of x when 6 - 3x = 5x - 10x + 8.<br> The value of x is
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify

6 + -3x = 5x + -10x + 8

terms:

6 + -3x = 8 + 5x + -10x

Combining  like terms: 5x + -10x = -5x

6 + -3x = 8 + -5x

Solving

6 + -3x = 8 + -5x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.  (Remember)

Add '5x' to each side of the equation.

6 + -3x + 5x = 8 + -5x + 5x

Combine the like terms -3x + 5x = 2x

6 + 2x = 8 + -5x + 5x

Combine the like terms again  -5x + 5x = 0

6 + 2x = 8 + 0

6 + 2x = 8

Then '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 2x = 8 + -6

Combine the like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 2x = 8 + -6

2x = 8 + -6

Combine the like terms: 8 + -6 = 2

2x = 2

Then divide each side by '2'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1
