I shall use subtraction because I see two like
terms of the same value (4x).

Set them up as a vertical subtraction problem and subtract down.

4x+2y=26
-(4x-3y=51)
___________
5y=-25

Solve for y.

y=-5

Plug this value of y into either original equation and solve for x.

4x+2(-5)=26
4x-10=26
4x=36

x=9

Therefore, the solution is (9, -5).
