we have the system

-7y=-34-2x ------> equation A

2x+4y=10​ ------> equation B

In the equation A

Multiply by -1

-2x+7y=34------> new equation A

Adds new equation A and equation B

-2x+7y=34

2x+4y=10

------------------

7y+4y=34+10

11y=44

y=4

Find the value of x

Substitute the value of y in equation A or equation B

2x+4(4)=10​

solve for x

2x+16=10

2x=10-16

2x=-6

x=-3

therefore

the solution is the point (-3,4)
