I would really like it if you could explain how to solve this equation and what you did step by step please. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #510356 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have to find the value of X and Y and I am looking for the sides of 2X+y=10 and the other side of 2X-Y=6. One side say just says 2X-Y and the congruent side of this is 6. The other side just says 2X+Y and the congruent side to this one is 10. \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "2x+y = 10 \n" ); document.write( "2x-y = 6 \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "4x = 16 \n" ); document.write( "x = 4 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\": \n" ); document.write( "2x+y = 10 \n" ); document.write( "2*4 + y = 10 \n" ); document.write( "y = 2 \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "======================== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
