To find the solution to the system of equations given by \( y = 4x - 10 \) and \( y = -2x + 8 \), we need to find the point where the two lines intersect, which corresponds to the values of \( x \) and \( y \) that satisfy both equations.
-
Set the equations equal to each other since both equal \( y \): \[ 4x - 10 = -2x + 8 \]
-
Combine like terms by adding \( 2x \) to both sides: \[ 4x + 2x - 10 = 8 \] \[ 6x - 10 = 8 \]
-
Add 10 to both sides: \[ 6x = 18 \]
-
Divide by 6: \[ x = 3 \]
-
Now, substitute \( x = 3 \) back into either equation to find \( y \). Using the first equation: \[ y = 4(3) - 10 = 12 - 10 = 2 \]
Thus, the solution of the system of equations is \( (3, 2) \).
Therefore, the solution of the system of equations is \( \boxed{(3, 2)} \).
