Answer:

  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a "sum and difference" system of equations can be found by adding the equations together.

  (x +y) +(x -y) = (-10) +(2)

  2x = -8 . . . . . . simplify

  x = -4 . . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

Additional comment

 y = -6, though this question did not ask that value.
