Question 847339: 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. I am confused on how to solve this. I would really like it if you could explain how to solve this equation and what you did step by step please. Found 2 solutions by stanbon, MathLover1:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
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.
-----
2x+y = 10
2x-y = 6
------------
Add and solve for "x":
4x = 16
x = 4
-----
Solve for "y":
2x+y = 10
2*4 + y = 10
y = 2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you are given:
....eq.1 and
...........eq.2
___________________________________solve this system
....eq.1 and
...........eq.2
_____________________________since you have in both equations, subtract eq.2 from eq.1
now, plug it in one of the eq. above and find ....eq.1
