Answer:

The correct answer is the second option: (-1,-2).

Explanation:

To solve the system of equations:

2x - 4y = 6

2x + 4y = -10

We can use the method of elimination to eliminate one of the variables. Adding the two equations, we get:

4x = -4

Solving for x, we get:

x = -1

Substituting x = -1 in the first equation, we get:

2(-1) - 4y = 6

Simplifying, we get:

-2 - 4y = 6

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:

-4y = 8

Dividing by -4 on both sides, we get:

y = -2

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (-1, -2). So, the correct answer is (2nd option): (-1, -2).
