Question

Slove for x and y:
3-(x - 5) = y + 2
2(x + y) =4 - 3y

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer

$3 - (x - 5) = y + 2 \\ \\ 3 - x + 5 = y + 2 \\ \\ 8 - x = y + 2 \\ \\ 6 = x + y$

So

$2(x + y) = 4 - 3y \\ \\ 2(6) = 4 - 3y \\ \\ 12 - 4 = - 3y \\ \\ 8 = - 3y \\ \\ y = \frac{ - 3}{8}$

So will be

$x + y = 6 \\ \\ x + \frac{ - 3}{8} = 6 \\ \\ x = 6 \times \frac{ 8}{ - 3} = - 16$

Hope it helps.. ✌
