Answer 2

Given:

The given equations are y=x-2 and y=3x+5.

To find:

The value of x and y.

Solution:

To determine the value of x and y from the above equations we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The equations are-

y=x-2 and y=3x+5.

Equating both the equations we get-

$x - 2 = 3x + 5 \\ 3x - x = - 2 - 5 \\ 2x = - 7 \\ x = \frac{ - 7}{2}$

Putting the value of x in the y=x-2 equation we get-

$y = x - 2 \\ y = \frac{ - 7}{ 2} - 2 \\ y = \frac{ - 7 - 4}{2} \\ y = \frac{ - 11}{2}$

Hence the value of x is -7/2 and y is -11/2.
