Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
multiply 2nd equation by -2 and add to 1st equation
___ this will eliminate the x terms, because the coefficients will have the same number but different signs

[-2x + 4y] + [2x - 3y] = [-4] + [8]

y = 4

substitute the value of y into one of the equations to find x

x - 2(4) = 2

x = 10
