Hey there! :D

We can subtract the equations from each other. 

4x-3x=x

2y-2y=0

10-6=4 

x=4 <== that's all we have left of the equation

Now plug that in to solve.

3(4)+2y=6

12+2y=6

2y=-6

y=-3

Solution: (4,-3)

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 4 and y = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : 4x + 2y = 10  and 3x + 2y = 6.

To find : Solve the system algebraically. Check your work.

Solution : We have given that

4x + 2y = 10 ----(1)

3x + 2y = 6.------(2)

Subtracting equation 2 from 1

4x + 2y = 10

(-)3x + (-)2y =(-) 6.

_____________

x + 0 =  4

x =4

Plug x = 4 in equation 1

4 (4) + 2y = 10.

16 + 2y = 10.

2y  = 10 -16.

2y  = -6.

On dividing by 2 both sides

y = -3.

Check:

Plug the values x =4 , y =-3 in equation 1

4 (4) + 2 ( -3) = 10

16 -6 = 10

10 =10

Verify,

Therefore, x = 4 and y = -3.

Maura is 5 years younger than her sister Cara. Seven years ago, Maura was half as old as her sister. How old is Maura now?
masha68 [24]
Let's call Maura's age now M and Cara's age now C.

We know Maura is five years younger than Cara. In symbols that is, M - 5 = C

We also know that 7 years ago Maura's age was half of Cara's. Maura's age 7 years ago was M-7 and Cara's age seven years ago was C-7. Since Maura's age (7 years ago) was half of Cara's we can write in symbols: M-7= \frac{1}{2}(C-7)

Let's take that last equation and substitute C - 5 for M (this is because according to our first equation these are equal). When we do this we get an equation with only C as the variable and solve for C as follows:

M-7= \frac{1}{2}(C-7)
C-5-7= \frac{1}{2}(C-7)
C-12= \frac{1}{2}C-( \frac{1}{2})(7)
C-12= .5C-3.5
.5C-12= -3.5
.5C= 8.5
C= 17

Cara is 17. Since Maura is 5 years younger she is 12.

As a check, seven years ago Cara was 10 and Maura was 5. It is the case that Maura was half Cara's age seven years ago.
