Find x by adding the two equations so that the 6y and -6y will cancel out.
You're left with 6x=24 which you divide 6 on both sides to get x=4.
Then to find y you will plug 4 into either equation for x. I chose the second equation, so 4-6y=-26, get -6y alone by subtracting the 4 over to the other side. then -6y=-30, then divide both sides by -6 and you get y=5.
Explanation: If you look on a number line and start from 15 then from there you minus 6 which equals 9 then you minus 5 which equals 4 and add 10 which equals 14 and that 14 is on the positive side of the number line. So 14 is your answer.
