Answer: \((x, y) = (5, 1)\)

Ordered pairs for \(x + y = 6\):

\(x\)\(0\)\(6\)\(5\)
\(y\)\(6\)\(0\)\(1\)
\((x, y)\)\((0, 6)\)\((6, 0)\)\((5, 1)\)

Ordered pairs for \(x - y = 4\):

\(x\)\(4\)\(0\)\(5\)
\(y\)\(0\)\(-4\)\(1\)
\((x, y)\)\((4, 0)\)\((0, -4)\)\((5, 1)\)

Plot both sets of points on the same graph paper (scale: 1 cm = 1 unit on both axes) and join each set to get two straight lines. The lines intersect at \((5, 1)\).

Check: \(1(5) + 1(1) = 6\) and \(1(5) + (-1)(1) = 4\) – both true.
