For this case we have the following system of equations:


6x-y = 4\\y = 4x + 2

Substituting the second equation into the first we have:


6x- (4x + 2) = 4\\6x-4x-2 = 4\\2x = 4 + 2\\2x = 6\\x = \frac {6} {2}\\x = 3

We find the value of the variable "y":


y = 4x + 2\\y = 4 (3) +2\\y = 12 + 2\\y = 14

Finally, the system solution is:


(x, y) :( 3,14)

Answer:

The value of "x" in the system solution is 3.
