These equations are in standard form.

You can graph these equations to find the solution.

Standard form:
Ax+By= C

Graph the equations.

I got (-4.2, -4.6) as the solution.
x= -4.2 and y= -4.6

Now, plug those in and see if they equal each other.

2(-4.2)-4(-4.6)= 10

-8.4+18.4= 10

10=10

We know that this works.

I hope this helps!
