The sum of two numbers is six, and the difference is 10. Find the numbers.

1 answer:

3 0

First no. = x
Second no. = y

Equation Formation
x + y = 6..........equation(i)
x - y = 10...........equation (ii)

x = 6 - y
6 - y - y = 10
6 - 2 y = 10
-2 y = 10 -6
-2 y = 4
y = -2

x = 6 + 2
x = 8

Answer = 8 , -2

which description best describes the solution to the following system of equations y= -2x +3 y= -x + 1

marin [14]

For this case we have the following system of equations:
$y = -2x +3

y = -x + 1$
Equating the values of y we have:
$-2x +3 = -x + 1
$
From here, we can clear the value of x.
We have then:
$-2x + x = 1 - 3

-x = -2

x = 2$
Then, we look for the value of y.
For this, we substitute x in any of the equations:
$y = -x + 1

y = -2 + 1

y = -1$
Answer:
The ordered pair solution of the system of equations, is given by:
$(x, y) = (2, -1)$
