2x + y = 5

x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x

x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10

x − 10 + 4x = 10

5x − 10 = 10

<em>add 10 to each side</em>

<em>5x-10+10 = 10 + 10</em>

<em>5x=20</em>

5x = 0    <em>this is the error</em>

He needs to add 10 to each side

2x^2-8x+3x-12

This can be simplified even more into:

2x^2-5x-12.

Hope this helped!
