I solved the system of equations below. What mistake did I make in his work??? 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

second last line. It's meant to be 5x= 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You moved the "-10" but forgot to change the sign which resulted in you subtracting the 10 and ending up with 5x=0
