Answer is B. ( 2, 3 )
Step by step
Given
2x + 2y = 10
5x -2y = 4
We can use elimination to solve
We see +2y and -2y will cancel each other out and we can then add the equations together and solve for x
2x + 2y = 10
5x -2y = 4
7x = 14
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x
7/7 x = 14/7
x = 2
Substitute the value of x = 2 into the first equation to solve for y
2x + 2y = 10
2(2) + 2y = 10
4 + 2y = 10
Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate y
4 - 4 + 2y = 10 -4
Simplify
2y = 6
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for y
2/2 y = 6/2
y = 3
So x=2, y=3
I graphed it to check and prove it is correct
