Trevor solved the system of equations below. What mistake did he make in his work?

2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10
5x = 0
x = 0

2(0) + y = 5
y = 5

He should have substituted 5 + 2x
He combined like terms incorrectly, it should have been 4x instead of 5x
He subtracted 10 from the right side instead of adding 10 to the right side
He made no mistake ...?

Respuesta :

The answer is He subtracted 10 from the right side instead of adding 10 to the right side

Let's solve it:
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
________
Rearrange first equation to get y:
y = 5 - 2x
________
Substitute y into the second equation:
x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10
________
Multiply the terms:
x - 10 + 4x = 10
________
Combine the terms:
5x - 10 = 10
________
Add 10 on the both sides of the equation:
5x = 10 + 10
5x = 20
x = 4
