Step-by-step explanation:
x+10=116
x=116-110
=106
x=106
In order to use the elimination method<span>, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient—then you </span>can eliminate<span> them. Multiply the top </span>equation<span> by 5. Next add the </span>equations<span>, and </span>solve<span> for y. Substitute y = 10 into one of the original </span>equations<span> to find x.</span>
If you want to check if your answer is correct, expanding it all out will help!
(x-6)(x+2)=0 <-- Use FOIL tactic
x²+2x-6x-12=0
x²-4x-12=0
As you can see, this is identical to the initial equation given. The x values would be 6 and -2, as seen from the factored equation.
Hope I helped :)
