A constant never changes. Its value is constant, which is a big part of the reason why it's called a "constant". " 42 " is constant. It doesn't depend on anything.

A variable can change. Its value varies, and that's why it's described as "variable". ' x ' is a variable. Its value depends on what ' x ' is.

Answer:

x=-2, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple substitution.

Since y is isolated in one of the equations already, you can plug it into the second equation.

x - 2(3x) = 10

x - 6x = 10

-5x = 10

x = -2

Sub. x = -2 into 3x = y:

3(-2) = y

y = -6
