Answer

So, the solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{(2,4)}\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, we set the two equations equal to each other to find the x-coordinate of the point of intersection: \(-6x + 16 = -x + 6\).

Step 2 :Then, we simplify the equation by adding \(6x\) to both sides to get \(16 = 5x + 6\).

Step 3 :Next, we subtract \(6\) from both sides to isolate \(x\) on one side of the equation: \(10 = 5x\).

Step 4 :Then, we divide both sides by \(5\) to solve for \(x\): \(x = 2\).

Step 5 :Now that we have the x-coordinate, we can substitute \(x = 2\) into the first equation to find the corresponding y-coordinate: \(y = -6(2) + 16\).

Step 6 :Simplify the equation to get \(y = -12 + 16\).

Step 7 :Finally, we simplify the equation to get \(y = 4\).

Step 8 :So, the solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{(2,4)}\).
