Q. Find the values of x x and y y . Write your answers in simplest form.
  1. Identify Equations Given: Step 11: Identify the equations given for xx and yy. Assuming the equations are x+y=10x + y = 10 and xy=2x - y = 2.
  2. Solve for x: Step 22: Solve for x using elimination method.\newlineAdd the two equations: (x+y)+(xy)=10+2(x + y) + (x - y) = 10 + 2.\newline2x=122x = 12.\newlinex=122x = \frac{12}{2}.\newlinex=6x = 6.
  3. Substitute to Find y: Step 33: Substitute the value of xx into the first equation to find yy.x+y=10x + y = 10.6+y=106 + y = 10.y=106y = 10 - 6.y=4y = 4.
