i got A here.

anonymous · Answer

Okay (: Are you sure this time? :D

anonymous · Answer

just substitute 2y-2 for the x in equation 3x-y=14
3(2y-2)-y=14
6y-6-y=14
5y-6=14
5y=20
y=4

anonymous · Answer

then plug in 4 in for y in the equation x = 2y - 2
x=2(4)-2
x=8-2
x=6

anonymous · Answer

Wait... wouldnt x = 4?
