2x-2y=6

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

-2x + 10 = 0 ......................(1)
2x + 2y = 6 ......................(2)
Let's take the equation (1)
-2x + 10 = 0
So -2x = -10
x = -10%2F-2
x = 5 ............................(3)
Now replacing the value of x in eq.no.(2), we get
(2*5) + 2y = 6
=10 + 2y = 6
=2y = 6-10 = -4
2y = -4
y = -4%2F2 = -2

So, x = 5; y = -2; Answer
