ujjwal · Answer

add both equations. y will be eliminated. you will get value of x.

anonymous · Answer

then i get 2(16 +y) +y = 2 ?

anonymous · Answer

x - y = 16              X-Y=16
2x + y = 2             6-Y=16
3X=18                 -6     -6
3X/3 =18/3
X=6                      -Y=10

                               Y=-10

ujjwal · Answer

After adding, you don't get that. y will be eliminated and you will get 3x=18 @AshhSmith
