Y = -1.4
The simplest way to find the answer is to cancel out the x - values. Set both equations equal to zero.
10x + 8y + 24 = 0
5x - 6y - 2 = 0
Multiple the second equation by -2 so the x terms cancel out when you add them together.
10x + 8y + 24 = 0
-10x + 12y + 4 = 0
20y + 28 = 0
20y = -28
Y = -1.4
Answer: The correct answer is x=6+y/4
Answer:
The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25. The second useful rule is the Sum Rule.

Explanation:
This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.
<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.
