Answer:
(8, 11 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 2y = 38 → (1)
y = x + 3 → (2)
Substitute y = x + 3 into (1)
2x + 2(x + 3) = 38 ← distribute and simplify left side
2x + 2x + 6 = 38
4x + 6 = 38 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 into (2) for corresponding value of y
y = 8 + 3 = 11
Solution is (8, 11 )
