Divide both sides by 2

<em>Hence, the small box contains 21 cans</em>
Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other

WANNA HEAR ME ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Answer: X = -1 and Y = 3
—————————————
X + Y = 2
X = 2 - Y
————————
Y = x + 4
Y = 2 - Y + 4
2Y = 2 + 4
2Y = 6
Y = 3
————————
X + Y = 2
X + 3 = 2
X = -1
