Question

What is the solution to this system of equations?
6x-2y=10
4x=-2y+5

Answer 1

write second equation like this
4x+2y=5 then add the first equation
6x-2y=10
____________
10x=15

Answer 2

solve for x and substitute x in one of the equation and solve for y

Answer 3

Have you reached a solution yet?

Answer 4

Rearrange the second equation and you will get the following equations:

6x-2y=10
4x+2y=5

Solve to get:

10x=15
x=15/10=3/2

Substitute the value of x into one of the equations to get y:

4(3/2)+2y=5
6+2y=5
2y=-1
y=-1/2

Therefore, x=3/2 and y=-1/2

You can substitute these values into one or both of the equations to prove the correctness of these values.
