Answer 2

the result of adding these two equations is

3x = 14

Explanation:

We are given two equations

5x − y = 6 eq. 1

−2x + y = 8 eq. 2

Add the like terms together

5x - 2x = 3x

− y + y = 0

6 + 8 = 14

So the result of adding these equations is

3x + 0 = 14

3x = 14

Bonus:

The value of x is

3x = 14

x = 14/3
