Answer:

x=1 and y=-3

Explanation:

Solve by substitution method.

4x-2y=10 subtrct 4x from both sides

-2y=10-4x divide by -2 to isolate the y variable.

y=-5+2x

Substitute the equation into -6x-y=-3 to find what x equals.

-6x-(-5+2x)=-3 distribute the negative in front of the (-5+2x).

-6x+5-2x=-3 combine like terms.

-8x+5=-3 subtrct 5 from both sides.

-8x=-8 divide by - 8.

x = 1

Now substitute into one of the equations.

4(1)-2y=10 perform the multiplication.

4-2y=10 subtract 4 from both sides.

-2y=6 divide both sides by -2

y = -3
