Answer:
Either x = 3, y = 2
or
(3,2) is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +y = 8 (1)
y = - x+ 5 (2)
Put equation (2) into equation (1). Use the y value in (2) to go into the y value in (1).
2x - x+5 = 8 Combine the x values
x + 5 = 8 Subtract 5 from both sides
x + 5-5 = 8-5
x=3
Now go back to (2). Put x in for the value of -x. Watch the sign.
y = -3+ 5
y = 2
So the answer is (3,2)
