Answer 2

isolate x in both equations first

Answer 3

what do you get?

Answer 4

x= y +5
x= 2y-2

Answer 5

x = 5 - y


5-y - 2y = 2
solve this equation for "y", then you can find "x" by plugging "y" into the first equation

Answer 6

im still confused

Answer 7

5-y - 2y = 2
5 - 3y = 2
-3y = 2 - 5
-3y = -3
y = 1

then plug "y=1" into the first equation
x = 5 - y
x = 5 - 1
x = 4

and there you have it. x = 4 and y = 1

Answer 8

oh ok thank you i understand this now
