    You can use Substitution to solve this problem:

    4x-y=20

    -y=-4x+20

    y=4x-20

    Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.

    y=4x-20 and - 2x-2y=10

    -2x-2 (4x-20) = 10

    -2x-8x+40=10

    -10x+40=10

    -10x=-30

    -x=-3

    x=3

    Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.

    4x-y=20 x=3

    4 (3) - y=20

    12-y=20

    -y=8

    y=-8

    So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8
