Question

X+2y=10
X+y=6
Using eliminations to solve each system

Answer 1

x= 2

y=4

Just subtract by like numbers.

Answer 2

x + 2y = 10

x + y = 6

Both x's in the equation are equal. We want the x of the last equation to be negative so we can eliminate.

x + 2y = 10

-x - y = -6

Subtract.

y = 4

Now that we figured out y, we have to figure out x. Substitute y into one on the equations.

x + 4 = 6

x = 2

Now we figured out x. The answer is (2,4). I hope this helps! Let me know if I got anything wrong or if you need any more help with this problem.
