    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    2x - y = 10 → (1)

    2x - 2y = 4 → (2)

    Rearrange (2) expressing 2x in terms of y by adding 2y to both sides

    2x = 4 + 2y

    Substitute 2x = 4 + 2y into (1)

    4 + 2y - y = 10, that is

    4 + y = 10 (subtract 4 from both sides)

    y = 6

    Substitute y = 6 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

    Using (1)

    2x - 6 = 10 (add 6 to both sides)

    2x = 16 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 8

    Solution is (8, 6) → C
