I'm totally lost i don't know what i'm doing at all, help would be greatly appreciated.

Solve the system by the elimination method.
x + y - 6 = 0
x - y - 8 = 0
When you eliminate y , what is the resulting equation?

Solve the system by the elimination method.	
x + y - 6 = 0
x - y - 8 = 0 
When you eliminate y , what is the resulting equation?

To solve by elimination, literally add the equations together:
|dw:1385744812689:dw|
Solve for x, then use that to find y.
