Breann solved the system of equations below. What mistake did she make in her work?

2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10
5x = 20
x = 4

2(4) + y = 5
y = −3

She should have substituted 5 + 2x
She combined like terms incorrectly, it should have been 4x instead of 5x
She subtracted 10 from both sides instead of adding 10 to both sides
She made no mistake

dude · Answer

All looks right
She substituted 5-2x correctly
Added 10 on both sides and divided correctly
