Question 365757: What is the solution to this system of equations:

x + y = 10
x � y = 22

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Start with the given system of equations:

Add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:

Group like terms.

Combine like terms.

Simplify.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Now go back to the first equation.

Plug in .

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

So the solutions are and .

Which form the ordered pair

.

This means that the system is consistent and independent.
