Solve the system. ×+y=12; ×-y=2

Answer 1

To solve the system, we can add the equations together to eliminate the variable y:

(x + y) + (x - y) = 12 + 2
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7

Now, we can substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to solve for y:

7 + y = 12
y = 12 - 7
y = 5

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 7 and y = 5.
