Answer:
10 & 12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we set up equations:
x - y = 2
2(y) = x + 8
Then, we solve for the variable of our choice (x) in one equation:
(x - y = 2) = (x = y + 2)
Then, we substitute it for the variable (x) in the other equation:
(2y = x + 8) = (2y = (y + 2) + 8)
Then, we solve for the remaining variable (y):
(2y = (y + 2) + 8) = (2y = y + 10) = (y = 10)
Finally, we can plug the value that variable (y) into the initial equations:
(x - (10) = 2) = (x = 12)
(2(10) = x + 8) = (x = 12)
Now, we have the value of both variables:
y = 10 & x = 12
Hope this helps! Brainliest would be nice, if you can, but if not that's fine too!
