1. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve the system x+y=10x+y=10 and x−y=2x-y=2.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (x,y)=(6,4)(x,y)=(6,4).

  1. Choose a system method: Use substitution, elimination, a graph, or an equivalent form that makes one variable easy to determine.
  2. Solve for the ordered pair: Add the equations to get 2x=122x=12, so x=6x=6. Substitution gives y=4y=4.
  3. Check both equations: Substitute the ordered pair into both original equations and verify that it satisfies each one.

Add the equations to get 2x=122x=12, so x=6x=6. Substitution gives y=4y=4.
