Answer 1

x=59

Answer 2

Here we have 2 different equations using the same variables, x and y:

x + y = 119

x - y = 15

We have the option of now rewriting one of the above equations in terms of either x or y

In this case, it seems easier to solve the second one for x, giving us x = 15 + y

Substituting that in for x in the first equation gives us (15 + y) + y = 119 or 2y + 15 = 119

Solving for y gives us y = 52 (by subtracting 15 from both sides and then dividing both sides by 2)

We can then use the fact that y = 52 and substitute it into one of the equations to get x. Sticking with the second equation, we have x - 52 = 15

Adding 52 to 15 gives us x = 67

That means our final answer is: x = 67 and y = 52

Checking our work gives us the following:

67 +52 = 119

67 - 52 = 15
