Answer:

x = 2

y = 4

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

y = 2x

x = – y + 6

The solutions to the equation can be obtained as follow:

y = 2x ...... (1)

x = – y + 6 ......(2)

Substitute the value of y in equation (1) into equation (2)

x = – y + 6

y = 2x

x = – 2x + 6

Collect like terms

x + 2x = 6

3x = 6

Divide both side by 3

x = 6/3

x = 2

Substitute the value of x into equation (1) to obtain y.

y = 2x

x = 2

y = 2(2)

y = 4

Thus, the solutions to the equations are:

x = 2

y = 4
