Verify if the point (-5,-1) a solution to the system of equation: x+y=4 x-y=6

We'll solve the system using elimination
method.


We'll add the 1st equation to the 2nd
one:


x + y + x - y  = 4 +
6


We'll combine like terms:


2x
= 10


x = 5


y = 4 - x =>
y = 4 - 5 = -1


The solution of the system of equations is
(5 ; -1).


Therefore, the ordered pair (-5 ;
-1) is not the solution of the given system of
equations.
