    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    x = y + 4 → (1)

    2x - 3y = - 2 → (2)

    Substitute x = y + 4 into (2)

    2 (y + 4) - 3y = - 2 ← distribute and simplify left side

    2y + 8 - 3y = - 2

    - y + 8 = - 2 (subtract 8 from both sides)

    - y = - 10 (multiply both sides by - 1)

    y = 10

    Substitute y = 10 into (1) for corresponding value of x

    x = 10 + 4 = 14

    Solution is (14, 10) → D
