If you didn't know, you can not only add numbers and variables but whole equations!
To demonstrate this we can use your problem:
x + y = 6
x – y = 4
All you do to do this by addition, would be to add:
(x+y)+(x-y)=(6)+(4)
This would simplify into:
2x = 10
x = 5
Substitution:
5 - y = 4
Subtract 5 on both sides to get
-y = 4 - 5
Simplify:
-y = -1
y = 1
The solution is: (5,1)
