Substitute y in first equation: Substitute the value of y into the first equation.Given y=−1, substitute −1 for y in 2x+2y=10.2x+2(−1)=10
Simplify and solve for x: Simplify the equation and solve for x. 2x−2=10Add 2 to both sides to isolate the term with x.2x−2+2=10+22x=12
Divide to find x: Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x.22x=212x=6
Write solution as ordered pair: Write the solution as an ordered pair.We have found x=6 and y=−1.The solution in the form of an ordered pair is (6,−1).
