using the elimination method help me solve x-y=10, and -x-y=20 for x and y
---------
x-y=10
-x-y=20
-------
Add to get:::
-2y = 30
----
Divide both sides by -2 to get:
y = -15
----
Solve for "x":::
x - y = 10
x --15 = 10
x +15 = 10
x = -5

The coefficients on 
are 1 and -1, which are additive inverses. So if you just add the two equations, term by term, the variable will be eliminated, leaving you with a single variable linear equation in 
. Solve for . Then, after you have a value for , substitute that value into either of the original equations. Solve for
