Question

What is the solution to this system of linear equations?

y − x = 6

y + x = −10

A. (−2, −8)
B. (−8, −2)
C. (6, −10)
D. (−10, 6)

Thank you if you can help me!

Answer 1

It’s B
If y-x=6
Y +X =_10
then y= 6 + x, instead of y insert this no
6+ x+ x =-10
6 + 2x =-10 then collect like terms
2x =-10-6
2x=-16 then multiple both side by 1/2
X=-8
Y=6+x instead of x insert -8
Y=6-8
=-2
