Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 6 - x
y = x - 2
Substitute the value for y in the first equation into the second.
So we get:
6 - x = x - 2
-x - x = -2 -6
-2x = -8
x = 4
Plug this into second equation:
y = 4 - 2 = 2.
Check these results in equation 1:
y = 6 - x
2 = 6 - 4 = 2
- so correct.
