I assume this is :

y=2x-2 y=-x-4

 

Substituting  the second equation in the first, we have

 

-x - 4   =  2x - 2    add 2, x to both sides

 

-2  = 3x    divide both sides by 3

 

-2/3 = x      and we can use  y = -x - 4   to find y   →  y = -(-2/3) - 4 = 2/3 - 12/3 = -10/3

 

Here's a graph of the solution.......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/3sldpkijmp
