[tex]4y=2x-10[/tex] and [tex]y=6[/tex]

use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

[tex]4\cdot 6 = 2x -10\\24 = 2x -10[/tex]

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

[tex]34 = 2x[/tex]

and divide both sides by 2

[tex]17 = x[/tex]

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
