Answer:

(4, 6 )

Explanation:

Given the equations

x - y + 2 = 0 ( subtract - y + 2 from both sides )

x = y - 2 → (1)

2x + y - 14 = 0 → (2)

Substitute x = y - 2 into (2)

2(y - 2) + y - 14 = 0 ← distribute and simplify left side

2y - 4 + y - 14 = 0

3y - 18 = 0 ( add 18 to both sides )

3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1) for corresponding value of x

x = 6 - 2 = 4

solution is (4, 6 )
