We know that y=MX+c
here m=1 and c=-1

Answer: 26.6667%
Step-by-step explanation: :)
X + y = 3500 -------------- (1)
x - y = 2342 --------------- (2)
(1) + (2):
2x = 5842
x = 2921 -------------- Sub into (1)
x+ y = 3500
2921 + y = 3500
y = 3500 - 2921
y = 579
----------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 2921, y = 579
