ANSWER

C) (6,-8)

EXPLANATION

The equations are:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3}x - 10[/tex]

and

[tex]2x+y=4[/tex]

We substitute the first equation into the second equation to get:

[tex]2x + \frac{1}{3}x - 10 = 4[/tex]

We multiply through by 3 to get:

[tex]6x + x - 30= 12[/tex]

Group similar terms,

[tex]6x + x = 30 + 12[/tex]

[tex]7x = 42[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7 to get,

[tex]x = \frac{42}{7} = 6[/tex]

Put this value of x into the first equation to get;

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3} (6) - 10[/tex]

[tex]y = 2 - 10 = - 8[/tex]
