Answer:

Assuming you want to solve for x,

x = 2

Explanation:

2x + y = 5

Solve for y

y = 5 - 2x

4x - 2y = 6

Solve for y

y = -3 + 2x

Since both these equations equal y, they must equal each other.

Make an equation for these to equal each other.

Then solve for x

5 - 2x = -3 + 2x

+ 2x + 2x Add

5 = - 3 + 4x

+ 3 +3 Add

8 = 4x

/4 /4 Divide

2 = x
