    X + y = 10

    2x = 2y+4

    2x/2 = 2/2y+4/2

    x = y + 2

    x+y = 10

    y+2+y=10

    2y + 2 = 10

    2y + 2-2 = 10-2

    2y = 8

    2y/2 = 8/2

    y = 4

    x + y = 10

    x + 4 = 10

    x + 4-4 = 10-4

    x = 6

    Check

    2x = 2y + 4

    2 (6) = 2 (4) + 4

    12 = 8+4

    12 = 12
