Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

5x+4y=8
x-2y=10

Answer 1

there are usually 2 ways used to solve these types of equation
substitution or elimination

since you can easily solve for x by adding 2y to both sides in 2nd equation do that
that will give you x then substitute for x in first equation

Answer 2

so... x=10? I think I did that wrong..

Answer 3

5(2y+10) + 4y = 8
10y + 50 +4y =8
14y= 8-50

then resubstitute the y to get the x and check

i have to run.
