\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-10})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ 10=\sqrt{[x-(-6)]^2+[-4-(-10)]^2}\implies 10=\sqrt{(x+6)^2+(-4+10)^2} \\\\\\ 10^2=(x+6)^2+(6)^2\implies 100=x^2+12x+36+36 \\\\\\ 100=x^2+12x+72\implies 0=x^2+12x-28 \\\\\\ 0=(x+14)(x-2)\implies x= \begin{cases} -14\\ \boxed{2} \end{cases}


because B is on the IV Quadrant, the x-coordinate must be positive.

Answer:

x must equal 5 and y must equal 2

therefore,

5a + 2b = 23 and

5a - 2b = 7.

I'm gonna take 5a + 2b = 23 and add 7 to each side:

5a + 2b + 7 = 30

and substitute 5a -2b in for 7 on the left side:

5a + 2b + (5a-2b) = 30

10a = 30

a = 3

Now we know a. Now take

5a -2b = 7

and substitute in 3 for a

5*(3) - 2b = 7

15 -2b = 7

8 = 2b

b = 4

a = 3 and b = 4
