What is the solution to this system of linear equations?
Y - x = 6, Y + x = -10
Solution:
y - x = 6 ----> y = x + 6
y + x = -10 -----> y = - x - 10
Given: linear equations in two variables
As both the equations are equal to y, let us equate them.
x + 6 = - x - 10
By further calculation
x + x = - 10 - 6
2x = - 16
Divide both sides by 2
x = -8
Substitute the value of x in either of the equations
y - x = 6
y - (-8) = 6
So we get
y + 8 = 6
y = 6 - 8
y = - 2
Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations is (-8, -2).
What is the solution to this system of linear equations?
