Answer:
(8, -22)
Step-by-step explanation:
The tables each contain four (x,y) points of a straight line. You can see that for every increase of x by 2, y decreases by 8 in the first one (observe 26, 18, 10 2), and decreases by 6 in the second.
If you continue the table with x=4, 6 and 8, you get y=-22 in both cases for x=8. That is the intersection, so the solution is (8,-22).
Added a graph. The equations are y=10-4x and y=2-3x respectively. Hope you understand a bit of this (brief) explanation.

Use the formula (b/2)^2 in order to create a new term. Solve for x by using this term to complete the square.
Exact Form:
x = ±√21 + 6
Decimal Form:
x = 10.58257569…, 1.41742430…
