What is the solution to the system of equations x+y=10 and x+2y=4 using the linear combination method?

The solution:

X = 16 and Y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations to be solved are:

x+y = 10 equation 1

x+2y = 4 equation 2

we can multiply equation 1 by -1 to make the value of x and y negative.

This will give us

-x- y = - 10 equation 3

x+2y = 4 equation 2

We will now add equations 3 and 2 together so that x will cancel itself out.

this will give us

y = -10 +4 = -6

hence, we have the value of y as -6.

To get the value of x, we can put this value of y into any of the equations above.  (I will use equation 1)

x - 6 = 10

from this, we have that x = 4

Therefore, we have our answer as

X = 16 and Y = -6

4th option is correct xy=-10

if this was to u plzz mark me the brainliest
