The student went from x+y = 2 to 2x+2y = 2, which is not correct. They multiplied the left side by 2, but forgot about the right hand side.

They should have gone from x+y = 2 to 2x+2y = 4 after multiplying both sides by 2.

So they should have this new equivalent system

Add straight down and we end up with the new equation 5x = 12 which solves to x = 12/5 = 2.4

Use that x value to solve for y. You should get y = -2/5 = -0.4
