Answer:


x = 6 and
y = 236

Explanation:


y = 296 - 10x


y = 200 + 6x

By equating both equations, we get:


296 - 10x = 200+6x


16x = 96 [Separate variables and constants]


x = 6

By substituting
x = 6 to the above equation, we get:


y = 296 - 10(6)


y = 296 - 60


y = 236

Hence,
x = 6 and
y = 236
