Answer:
X= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello. For to solve that, you need to use the sustitution method:
1. You need clear X in the first equation and put in the second
X+Y = -10
X = -10-Y
2. Y = X-2, then you replaced the X in this equation:
Y = (-10-Y) - 2
Y+2=-10-Y
2Y=-10-2
2Y= -12
Y= -12/2
Y=-6
3. Now you use the Y value for to solve X:
X=-10-Y, then
X =- 10-(-6)
X = -4
