Question

If A + B = 2X -2 and A -B equals 4X -8, find A and B

Answer 1

A=3X-3
B=-X+3
If A+B=2X-2, then using equalivant exchange A=2X-2-B and
B=2X-2-A
If A-B=4X-8, then A=4X-8+B and -B=4X-8-A(or B=-4X+8+A)
Since A equals both 2x-2-B and 4X-8+B we can add both equations to equal 2A=6X-6 now we devide that by 2 to get
A=3X-3
Do the exact same for B, so b equals both 2X-2-A and -4X+8+A
We can add them both to get 2B=-2X+6 and decide that by 2 to get B=-X+3
