Final answer:

The solution to the system of equations y=4x+6 and y=2x-4 is (-5, -14) by solving the equations simultaneously.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations y = 4x + 6 and y = 2x - 4 is found by setting the two equations equal to each other since they both equal y. This gives us 4x + 6 = 2x - 4. By subtracting 2x from both sides, we get 2x + 6 = -4. Subtracting 6 from both sides gives us 2x = -10. Dividing both sides by 2 gives us x = -5. Substitute x = -5 into either original equation to find y. Let's use the first equation: y = 4(-5) + 6, which simplifies to y = -20 + 6, and finally y = -14. Hence, the solution to the system of equations is (-5, -14).
