Answer:
{x,y} = {3,-2}
Step-by-step explanation:
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 2x - 8
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] 3x - 2•(2x-8) = 13
[2] -x = -3
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = 3
// By now we know this much :
x = 3
y = 2x-8
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 2(3)-8 = -2
Solution :
{x,y} = {3,-2}
