2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x + 10 + 4x = 10
5x + 10 = 10
5x = 0
x = 0

2(0) + y = 5
y = 5

Did i do this correctly?

Question

2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x + 10 + 4x = 10
5x + 10 = 10
5x = 0
x = 0

2(0) + y = 5
y = 5

Nope, not really.
For the step ''x + 10 + 4x = 10'', it should be x -10 + 4x. since -2(5) = -10

So i didnt distribute correctly?

callisto · Answer

I'm sorry but you didn't distribute correctly.

Okay, thanks!

Welcome. Since you've got that step wrong, the rest are incorrect too.. So, just start solving x from that step. Good luck :)
