Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=10

x-y=-1

Addition method

multiply the second equation by -2 and add it to the first one

5x-2y=10

-2x+2y=2

Total 3x=12

Divide by sides by 3

x=4

Now multiply the second equation by -5 and add it to the first one

5x-2y=10

-5x+5y=5

3y=15

Divide both sides by 3

y=5

Solutions are x=4 and y=5

2nd method

if x-y=-1, so x=y-1

bring the value of x in the first equation

5(y-1)-2y=10

5y-5-2y=10

put the similar term together

3y=15

Divide both sides by 3

y=5

now bring the value of y in one of the equation

x-y=-1

so x-(5)=-1

x=-1+5

x=4

Solutions are x=4; y=5
