Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition Method:

4x - 2y = 6

2x + y = 7

-2(2x + y) = -2(7)

4x - 2y = 6

-4x - 2y = -14

-4y = -8

y = 2

Substitution Method:

4x - 2y = 6

2x + y = 7

-2y = 6 - 4x

2y = 4x - 6

y = 2x - 3

2x + (2x - 3) = 7

4x - 3 = 7

4x = 10

x = 2.5

2(2.5) + y = 7

5 + y = 7

y = 2
