Answer:
The two numbers are 5 and 1. Their product is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 6 (*)
x - y = 4 (**)
Let (*) + (**)
--> (x+y) + (x-y) = 6 + 4
<=> 2x = 10 <=> x = 5
Substitute x= 5
(*) <=> 5 + y = 6
<=> y=1
Answer: (x,y) = (5,1)
Their product: x.y = 5x1 = 5
IF YOUR SOLVING FOR A THE ANSWER WOULD BE A=X+12
IF YOUR SOLVING FOR X IT WOULD BE X=-12+A
First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3
Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x
We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.
We are left with 3x=9
Therefore, x=3
Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations
Y=6
P.O.I is (3,6)
