What is the prime factorization of 10? Enter your answer as a product of prime numbers, like 2x3 or as a single prime number, like 17

2 × 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to split the number 10 into its prime numbers.

A good way to start is divide the number by 2, if it's even. 10 is even, so we can divide by 2.

So the current factors are 2 and 5. We would keep going if one of these numbers was composite, but 2 and 5 or both prime numbers, so we can end the factorization here.

Therefore, the prime factorization of 10 is 2 × 5.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
