PLZZZ HELPPP THIS IS DUE!!
This is a story problem. You may use the method of your choice to solve the problem. (substitution, combination, elimination )
The sum of 2 numbers ( x and y ) is +12
The difference of the same 2 numbers is -4

1. Which method will you use and why?
2. How will you set up the equation needed to solve?
3. What is the solution expressed as an ordered pair? (x,y)

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=3x-2..... i

x-y=4...... ii

x-4=y

Substituting the value of y in equation i,

x-4=3x-2

2-4=3x-x

-2=2x

x=-1.

From ii,

-1-4=y

y=-5.

x=-1, y=-5
