C^2 = a^2 + b^2
26^2 = 10^2 + b^2
676 = 100 + b^2
576 = b^2
shortest side length = 24 units

Can someone give the answer

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

(2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

x - y = 4 ... 1

6x+y = 10 ...2

Add both expressions

x+6x = 4 + 10

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into equation 1;

From 1;

x - y = 4

2 - y = 4

y = 2-4

y = -2

Hence the solution to the system of equation is (2, -2)
