Answer:
x = 3, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
By substitution since y = -2x + 7, substitute that for the 2nd y so
-2x +7 = 3x - 8, so x = 3, then substitute the 3 in any of the equations, so y = -2(3) + 7 is equal to 1
If you use elimination you can subtract the two equations from each other to get rid of the y so
y = -2x + 7
-y = -3x + 8
so 0 = -5x + 15, 5x = 15, x=3
