2x - 2y = 10
2x = 10 + 2y
x = 2y + 10 / 2
= y + 5
Replace x in either of the equations and you will get the answer.

pratu so is the final answer 5?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm not getting the answer if I replace the value of x, I think I made a mistake.....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, you need to find the value of x AND y....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there must be some other way....

OpenStudy (anonymous):
we should keep x=5-y and substitute and do
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But I'm getting -4y = 0.

interesting question....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I've solved this type of questions before but this seams to be tricky.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(5-y)-2y=10
10-2y-2y=10
-4y=0
y=0
x=y+5
x=5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh I see...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think its correct
