We have

[tex]

\begin{cases}

2x+4y=20\Longrightarrow x+2y=10\\

3x+2y=26\\

\end{cases}

[/tex]

Then multiply the second equation by -1 to get

[tex]

\begin{cases}

x+2y=10\\

-3x-2y=-26\\

\end{cases}

[/tex]

Now add the equations that way you eliminate y-terms. You find that

[tex]-2x=-16\Longrightarrow x=8[/tex]

Now plug in the x to either of the original equations and solve for y.

[tex]

x+2y=10\\

8+2y=10\\

2y=2\Longrightarrow y=1

[/tex]

The solution is the intersection of two lines at [tex]P(8,1)[/tex].

Hope this helps.
