The value of y is -7.
The value of x is 8.
First we need to rearrange these equations so they line up properly.
6x - 2y = 62
-x + 2y = -22
Add equations together.
5x = 40
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 8
We can plug this value in to find the value of y.
6(8) - 2y = 62
48 - 2y = 62
Subtract 48 from both sides.
-2y = 14
Divide both sides by -2.
y = -7
