You have the following system of equations:

2x - y = 0

3x + y = 10

in order to solve the previous system of equations, first, sum the equations to eliminate y variable, and then solve for x, as follow:

2x - y = 0

3x + y = 10

5x = 10

5x = 10 divide by 5 both sides

x = 10/5

x = 2

next, replace the previous value of x into the first equation and solve for y:

2x - y = 0

2(2) - y = 0

4 - y = 0

4 = y

y = 4

Hence, the solution to the given system of equation is x=2 and y=4
