Answer:
y = 6
x = 4
How to find 'x':
4x - y = 10
y = 2x - 2
First, you need to substitute the 'y' into the first equation.
4x - 2x - 2 = 10
Next, add the x's together. As it's a negative 2x then take away 2 from 4.
2x - 2 = 10
3. Now that it's a normal equation, you can add 2 to cancel out the -2
2x = 8
4. Then divide the 8 by 2 and you will get the answer to x which is 4
x = 4
How to find 'y':
1. Now that we have found out 'x'. Let's go back to y = 2x -2 and use the x to found the answer out. It should be something like this:
y = 2x - 2
y = 2(4) - 2
y = 8 - 2
8 - 2 = 6
y = 6
Conclusion:
So the answer would be:
y = 6
x = 4
You can see if it's correct by putting y into 4x - y = 10.:
4x - 2 = 10
4(4) - 6 = 10
16 - 6 = 10
So that means that y and x are the correct answer.
