Question

How many solutions does the system of equations shown below have?

Answer 1

Answer:

one solution with a y value of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

/| x+y-4 = 0| x-y-6 = 0

We try to solve the equation: x+y-4 = 0

x+y-4 = 0 // - x-4

y = -(x-4)

y = 4-x

We insert the solution into one of the initial equations of our system of equations

We get a system of equations:

/| x+x-6-4 = 0| y = 4-x

2*x-10 = 0 // + 10

2*x = 10 // : 2

x = 10/2

x = 5

We insert the solution into one of the initial equations of our system of equations

For y = 4-x:  

y = 4-5

y = -1

We get a system of equations:

/| y = -1| x = 5
