y = - 2x + 53x - 4y = 2 \\ y = 51x - 4y = 2 \\ > y = 51 x - 4y \\ > 51x - 4y = 2

y = 51x - 4y \\ 5y = 51x \\ y = (51)/(5) x
Substitute 51/5x into

51x - 4( (51)/(5) x) = 2 \\ 51x - 40.8x = 2 \\ 10.2x = 2 \\ x = 2 * (10)/(102) \\ x = (10)/(51) \: aka \: 0.196
Substitute that into

y = (51)/(5) * (10)/(51) \\ y = 2
Hope this helps. Answer should be correct. Unless your quadratic equation is wrongly stated.
