Can you solve these simultaneous equations and find the values of x and y? Equation 1: 2x + y = 14 Equation 2: 4x - y = 10.

Equation 1: 2x + y = 14 Equation 2:   4x - y = 10

Add the two equations together to get 6x = 24. Therefore x = 4.

Then substitute the value x = 4 into equation 1 and solve. 

2(4) + y = 14

8 + y = 14

y = 6

Therefore x = 4 and y = 6.
