Question

Solve for x and y: x+y=5 x−y=a PLEASE I NEED MY ANSWER TILL TOMORROW MORNING!

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5/2 + a/2,  y= 5/2 - a/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this system using addition of the equations

x+y=5

x-y=a

2x  =(5+a)

x=(5+a)/2= 5/2 +a/2

x=5/2 +a/2

x-y=a

y = x - a , x=5/2 + a/2

y= 5/2 + a/2-a

y= 5/2 - a/2

Answer 2

Answer:

x=$\frac{a+5}{2}$  y=5-$\frac{a+5}{2}$  

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

y=5-x

x-y=a

x-(5-x)=a

2x-5=a

2x=a+5

x=$\frac{a+5}{2}$  

x+y=5

$\frac{a+5}{2}$  +y=5

y=5-$\frac{a+5}{2}$
