Answer:

the solution is (2, -6)

Explanation:

Substitute the second equation into the first, replacing y in the first:

2x - (-4x+2) = 10

Simplifying, we get:

2x + 4x - 2 = 10, or:

6x = 12, which yields x = 2.

Substituting 2 for x in the second equation yields y = -4(2) + 2 = 0, or y = -6

Then the solution is (2, -6).
