Answer 2

ok, well you can add those two equations together
do you know how to do that?

Answer 3

no /: I'm in oddesy and don't have any help

Answer 4

solve both for Y algebraically. ie Y= 6-x
set both equal ie (6-X) = (???)
Solve for X
plug in your value for X into one of the original equations and solve for Y

Answer 5

or you can do the following\[~~~~~x+y=6\\+(x-y=8)\]just add the terms vertically

Answer 6

so it would be (7,-1)?

Answer 7

you can check your answers by subbing them back into the equations to see if they are true

Answer 8

let's just look at the x termswe are adding x+x
what is that?
