x + y = 52

x = y - 18

Adding,

2x + y = 52 + y - 18

2x = 34

x = 17

y = x + 18 = 35

Check: x+y = 17+35 = 52, good

Answer: 17 and 35

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

x+2y = 8 -----equation (i)

2x-y = 1 -----equation (ii)

Now,

x+2y = 8

or, x = 8-2y ------equation (iii)

Again,

2x-y = 1

or, 2x = 1+y

or, 2x-1 = y

Putting the value of 'x' from equation (iii)

or, 2(8-2y)-1 = y

or, 16-4y-1 = y

or, 16-1 = y+4y

or, 15 = 5y

or, y = 15/5

or, y = 3

Putting the value of 'y' in equation (iii)

x = 8-2y

or, x = 8-(2×3)

or, x = 8-6

or, x = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3.
