Answer:

$\left \{ {{x=2} \atop {y=2}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the second equation into the first one:

$4x+(2x-2)=10\\6x-2=10\\6x=12\\x=2$

Substitute $x=2$ into the second equation:

$y=2\times 2-2\\y=4-2\\y=2$

$\therefore \left \{ {{x=2} \atop {y=2}} \right.$

Answer: There are 4 people who only go to the game on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people go on Saturday be n(A).

Let the number of people go on Sunday be n(B).

Since we have given that

n(A) = 8

n(B) = 12

n(A∪B) = 16

According to rules, we get that

$n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=n(A\cup B)\\\\8+12-n(A\cap B)=16\\\\20-n(A\cap B)=16\\\\n(A\cap B)=20-16=4$

So, n(only go on Saturday) = n(only A) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 8-4 = 4

Hence, there are 4 people who only go to the game on Saturday.
