7 0

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.

How would you graph y=| x-2|-4
AVprozaik [17]
To graph ty function simply make a table of values, where you choose any value for x and substitute that value in the function.

Then take the absolute value of the expression in the square bracket.

It is always positive, the absolute value of -6 is 6 etc.

Then graph the resulting points.

Another way to do it is simply draw the graph of y = |x| then move it 2 spaces to the right and 4 spaces down, I believe.
