Answer:
x = -2, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Your goal is to try and cancel out a variable. I want to get rid of y so i subtracted the first equation from the second one.
After that I solve for x and got x=-2.
I used x=-2 and plugged it back into either of the equation to solve for y.

Answer:
x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since I don't know what this number is, I'm going to use the variable x to substitute for the value of the unknown number.
So it would just be x + 15 because addition is the operation of adding and the key words are usually more. Since one of the numbers is unknown, we can't get an answer like "100" because x is undefined.
Say x=100, then the number would be written as 115 in it's simplest form but you could also write it as 100+15. So I'm just using substitution.
