It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4

likoan [24]

Answer:

(1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the second equation from the first:

(y) -(y) = (6x -4) -(-x +3)

0 = 7x -7 . . . . . simplify

0 = x - 1 . . . . . . divide by 7

1 = x . . . . . . . . . add 1

y = -1 +3 = 2 . . . substitute into the second equation

The solution is (x, y) = (1, 2).
