Algebra.Com's Answer #41768 by funmath(2933)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system by addition. \n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations and the y's are eliminated. Now you can solve for x. \n" ); document.write( "x + y = 4 \n" ); document.write( "x – y = 10 \n" ); document.write( "_____________ \n" ); document.write( "2x+0=14 \n" ); document.write( "2x=14 \n" ); document.write( "2x/2=14/2 \n" ); document.write( "x=7 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let x=7 in either equation and solve for y. I'm using the first one. \n" ); document.write( "7+y=4 \n" ); document.write( "-7+7+y=4-7 \n" ); document.write( "y=-3 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The solution is (x,y)=(7,-3) \n" ); document.write( "HGappy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( " |
