Answer:
(6, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 10y = - 28 → (1)
- 10x + 10y = - 20 → (2)
Adding (1) and (2) term by term eliminates the term in y, that is
- 8x = - 48 ( divide both sides by - 8 )
x = 6
Substitute x = 6 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (1)
2(6) - 10y = - 28
12 - 10y = - 28 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
- 10y = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 10 )
y = 4
Solution is (6, 4 )
