Question

solve the system of equations

a+b=10
a-b=2
a = 5, b = 5a = 5, b = 5 B a = 2, b = 8a = 2, b = 8 C a = 6, b = 4a = 6, b = 4 D a = 3, b = 7a = 3, b = 7 E a = 12, b = -2

To solve the system of equations, we can add the two equations together to eliminate the variable "b".

(a+b) + (a-b) = 10 + 2
2a = 12
a = 6

Substituting the value of "a" back into one of the original equations:

a + b = 10
6 + b = 10
b = 4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is a = 6 and b = 4.
