You can use Substitution to solve this problem:


4x-y=20

-y=-4x+20

y=4x-20


Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.


y=4x-20     and     -2x-2y=10


-2x-2(4x-20)=10

-2x-8x+40=10

-10x+40=10

-10x=-30

-x=-3

x=3


Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.


4x-y=20       x=3

4(3)-y=20

12-y=20

-y=8

y=-8



So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8
