well.. have you covered system of equations yet?
Well, what two numbers can be subtracted and get the difference of 3, and also be added together to get the sum of 5?
You can always try plugging in numbers :)
I need to know where I need to add y-3 to both side of equation
You can solve this by solving for x in terms of y and then substituting that in order to solve for y. Let's solve for x. x+y=5 -y -y ~ Subtract y from both sides. x=5-y ~ Now plug this in to the first equation. (5-y)-y=3 ~ Simplify 5-y-y=3 5-2y=3 ~ Subtract 5 from both sides. -2y=3-5 -2y=-2 y=1 I think you can do the rest! :)
