(c)*(d)=8*30+8*4=8*34,=>
c=8
d=34
a+b>a-b, =>a+b=d, a-b=c; =>
{a+b=34
{a-b=8, =>a=b+8 ;
(b+8)+b=34
2b=34-8
b=13
a=13+8=21

Answer: a=21; b=13; c=8; d=34.

Elimination using addition and subtraction. <br> -4x+4y=-20<br> -2x+4y=-2
goldfiish [28.3K]

I would subtract the 2nd from the first one

so -4x - -2x = -2x

4y - 4y = 0

-20 - -2 = -18


-2x = -18

now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x

so no we have x = 9


now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y


-2 X 9 + 4y = -2

-18 + 4y = -2

4y =16

y = 4
