You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=-x+10.........(1)
y=x+2...........(2)
Add (1) and (2)
y=-x+10
y=x+2
---------------------
2y=12
2y/2=12/2
y=6
Put the value of y in (2)
y=x+2...........(2)
6=x+2
6-2=x
4=x
x=4

x,y=4,6



Check
======
Put the values of x and y in (1)
y=-x+10.........(1)
6=-4+10
6=6
Put the values of x and y in (2)
y=x+2...........(2)
6=4+2
6=6
