Answer: (5, -2)

Explanation:

They give you two equations with two variables. You can solve this using elimination or substitution. However, it seems as though the problem wants you to do it through elimination. On the right, you have the equation

6x + 10y = 10

+ -6x - 24y = 18

After add these equations, you get -14y = 28. By dividing both sides by -14, you get y = -2. You can plug y = -2 back into either one of the original equations, and solve for x.

x = 5.

So your answer is (5, -2)
