This is a simple quadratic
function.
To solve x or y, we need to put the coefficient
of x or y same for each equation so that x or y can be eliminated when we subtract or
add the two equations.
Let's eliminate
y.
The coefficient of y in the first equation is 1, and in
the second equation, it is -4. Therefore, if we multiply 4 to the first equation, the
coefficients of ys in the both equation will be
same.
4(2x
+y=9)
==> 8x +4y=
36
Now, let's add both the
equation.
8x+4y=36
+)10x-4y=36
18x
=
72
18x=72
x=72/18 =
4
Now, let's solve
y.
Substitute x for 4. Then, the first equation
is
2(4) +
y=9
8+y=9
y=1
Therefore,
x=4, y=1.
Let's check if these two values are
correct.
If we substitute these values in the second
equation,
10(4)
-4(1)=36
40-4=36
Since the
equation is correct, x=4 and y=1.
