Question

System of Equations: Solve for (x,y) given the system of linear equations "X 1 point

Answer 1

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you want to solve ...

• x - y = 4
• x + y = 4

Adding the two equations gives ...

  2x = 8

  x = 4 . . . . divide by 2

Then ...

  y = 4 - x = 0

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 0).

_____

If you think about what you're seeing when you read the equations, you realize that adding or subtracting y gives the same result. Hence y=0 and x=4.
