Answer:
x = 9 and y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the second equation from 1 as in doing so the y will get cancelled as they are of the opposite sign.
2x - y = 8
-3x + y = -17
-----------------
- x = - 9
Therefore,
x = 9
Now we will add the value of x to any of the equation from the question.
2x - y = 8
2(9) - y = 8
18 - y = 8
Therefore,
y = 10
