What is the solution to the system of equations x+y=10 and x+2y=4 using the linear combination method?

Answer:

The solution:

X = 16 and Y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations to be solved are:

x+y = 10 ------- equation 1

x+2y = 4 ----------- equation 2

we can multiply equation 1 by -1 to make the value of x and y negative.

This will give us

-x- y = - 10 ------- equation 3

x+2y = 4 ----------- equation 2

We will now add equations 3 and 2 together so that x will cancel itself out.

this will give us

y = -10 +4 = -6

hence, we have the value of y as -6.

To get the value of x, we can put this value of y into any of the equations above.  (I will use equation 1)

x - 6 = 10

from this, we have that x = 4

Therefore, we have our answer as

X = 16 and Y = -6

<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>

Right angle triangle have one of its angles as 90 degrees. Therefore, the side a can be found using trigonometric ratios,

Therefore,

tan 47° = opposite / adjacent

tan 47° = a / 570

cross multiply

a = 570 tan 47°

a = 570 × 1.07236871002

a = 611.250164714

a = 611 yards

In the first diagram the value of k is 10 and in the second diagram the value of k is 15/2.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

The triangle can be defined as a three-sided polygon in geometry, and it consists of three vertices and three edges. The sum of all the angles inside the triangle is 180°.

In the first diagram:

The sum of the 5k + 20 and 7k + 40 is 180

5k + 20 + 7k + 40 = 180

12k + 60 = 180

12k = 180 -60

12k = 120

k = 10

In the second diagram:

The sum of the two interior angles is equal to the exterior angle.

40 + 12k + 10 = 8k + 80

4k = 30

k = 30/4 = 15/2

Thus, in the first diagram the value of k is 10 and in the second diagram the value of k is 15/2.
