Answer:
x = - 2, y = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = 2x + 2 → (1)
4x - y = - 6 → (2)
Substitute y = 2x + 2 into (2)
4x - (2x + 2) = - 6 ← distribute and simplify left side
4x - 2x - 2 = - 6
2x - 2 = - 6 ( add 2 to both sides )
2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 2
Substitute x = - 2 into (1) and evaluate for y
y = 2(- 2) + 2 = - 4 + 2 = - 2
solution is x = - 2, y = - 2
