Full solution

Q. Solve the following system of equations.\newlinex+2y=10 x+2y=10\newline x5y=22-x-5y=-22\newline
  1. Add Equations: Step 11: Add the two equations to eliminate xx.\newlineEquation 11: x+2y=10x + 2y = 10\newlineEquation 22: x5y=22-x - 5y = -22\newlineAdd them: (xx)+(2y5y)=1022(x - x) + (2y - 5y) = 10 - 22\newlineResult: 3y=12-3y = -12
  2. Solve for y: Step 22: Solve for y.\newlineDivide both sides by 3-3: y=12/3y = -12 / -3\newliney=4y = 4
  3. Substitute to find xx: Step 33: Substitute y=4y = 4 into the first equation to find xx.x+2(4)=10x + 2(4) = 10x+8=10x + 8 = 10x=108x = 10 - 8x=2x = 2
