5x – y = 6
5x – ( y ) = 6
5x – ( 4x + 6 ) = 6 ... plug in y = 4x + 6 (ie replace y with 4x+6)
5x - 4x - 6 = 6
...
...
...
x = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you have to add 6 to both sides to undo the -6
what do you get when you do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so x = 12
now plug this into y = 4x+6 to get
y = 4x + 6
y = 4*12+6
y = 48+6
y = 54
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
therefore, x = 12 and y = 54

thanks you so much
