Answer: x = 5, y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
First, put the variables together/rearrange:
y - x = 2 & 5x - 4y = -3
Cancel out variable x by multiply the first equation by 5:
5y - 5x = 10 & 5x - 4y = -3
Add equations:
y = 7
Then determine x by plugging y back into the first equation y = x + 2:
x = 5
