Answer: x = 2 and y = - 4 or (2,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
- Subtract the x from both sides of the equation
- Now you have y = - x - 2
- plug in - x - 2 into the other equation
- Now you have y = 5x - 3 ( - x - 2) = 22
- simplify that to 5x + 3x + 6 = 22
- simplify that to 8x = 16
- Now x = 2
- plug in x as 2 into y + x = -2
- Now y + 2 = -2
- Subtract the 2 from both sides of the equation
- Now you have y = - 4
