Mathematics

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let's solve y for x + 2y = 8.</em>

x + 2y = 8

2y = -x + 8

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4.

<em>Let's solve y for x - y = 5.</em>

x - y = 5

y = x - 5

<em>Since both equations have been solved for y, we can combine them together into one!</em>

x - 5 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4

x + \frac{1}{2}x = 4 + 5

1.5x = 9

x = 6

Hope this helped! If not, please let me know!
