6x - 3y = 30
4x = 2 - y

4x = 2 - y
y = 2 - 4x (substitute 2 - 4x for y into the first equation)

6x - 3y = 30
6x - 3(2 - 4x) = 30
6x - 6 + 12x = 30
18x = 36
x = 2

y = 2 - 4x (substitute 2 for x)
y = 2 - 4(2) = 2 - 8 = -6

So the solution is x = 2, and y = -6.

x + y = 2 + -6 = -4

Thus, it is true that x + y = -4.
