Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Here are the solutions for problems c and d.

Part c· 2 steps

  1. Write down the given equation.

    The equation is:

    4x+y=104x + y = 10
  2. Express yy in terms of xx.

    Since this is a single linear equation with two variables, there are infinitely many solutions. We can express one variable in terms of the other. Subtract 4x4x from both sides of the equation:

    y=10−4xy = 10 - 4x

    The solution for equation c is y=10−4x\boxed{y = 10 - 4x}.

Part d6

  1. Write down the given system of equations.

    We have the following system:

    a+b=8(1)a + b = 8 \quad (1) a−b=4(2)a - b = 4 \quad (2)
  2. Add equation (1) and equation (2) to eliminate bb.

    (a+b)+(a−b)=8+4(a + b) + (a - b) = 8 + 4 2a=122a = 12
  3. Solve for aa.

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2a2=122\frac{2a}{2} = \frac{12}{2} a=6a = 6
  4. Substitute the value of aa into equation (1) to solve for bb.

    a+b=8a + b = 8

    Substitute a=6a = 6:

    6+b=86 + b = 8

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    b=8−6b = 8 - 6 b=2b = 2

    The solution to the system of equations is a=6a = \boxed{6} and b=2b = \boxed{2}.
