Question

Can anyone explain how to do this or just help me do it? i’m just stuck on this one question.

Answer 1

-3, 5

Explanation:

y = x + 8 x + y = 2

Substitute the value of y (x + 8) from first equation into the second

x + (x + 8) = 2

2x + 8 = 2

2x = -6

x = -3

Then solve for y

y = (-3) + 8

y = 5
