Question

Answer and shown work for 5x + y = 10 -x - y = -2

Answer 1

5x+y = 10
-x-y = -2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4x = 8
x = 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-x-y = -2
-2-y = -2
-y = 0
y = 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check:
5x+y = 10
5(2)+0 = 10
10+0 = 10
10 = 10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution : x=2, y=0

Answer 2

Solve first equation for y:
5x+y=10
y=10-5x. Plug this equation into second equation

-x-(10-5x)=-2
-x-10+5x=-2
4x=8
x=2 (plug x into first equation)

5(2)+y=10
y=0
