What is the solution to the system of equations x+y=10 and x+2y=4 using the linear combination method?

The solution:

X = 16 and Y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations to be solved are:

x+y = 10 equation 1

x+2y = 4 equation 2

we can multiply equation 1 by -1 to make the value of x and y negative.

This will give us

-x- y = - 10 equation 3

x+2y = 4 equation 2

We will now add equations 3 and 2 together so that x will cancel itself out.

this will give us

y = -10 +4 = -6

hence, we have the value of y as -6.

To get the value of x, we can put this value of y into any of the equations above.  (I will use equation 1)

x - 6 = 10

from this, we have that x = 4

Therefore, we have our answer as

X = 16 and Y = -6

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

the median is   36 orr sum like dat
