What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = A system of equations. y equals StartFraction one-third EndFraction minus 10. 2 x plus y equals 4.x – 10

2x + y = 4

(–8, 6)
(–6, 16)
(6, –8)

Answer : The solution to the system of equations is, (6, -8)

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the two equations:


y=(1)/(3)x-10 ............(1)


2x+y=4 ..........(2)

Now put equation 1 in equation 2, we get:


2x+y=4


2x+((1)/(3)x-10)=4


2x+(1)/(3)x-10=4


(7)/(3)x-10=4


(7)/(3)x=4+10


(7)/(3)x=14


x=14* (3)/(7)


x=6

Now put the value of 'x' in equation 1, we get:


y=(1)/(3)x-10


y=((1)/(3)* 6)-10


y=2-10


y=-8

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is, (6, -8)
