Answer: y = 7 x = 3
Step-by-step explanation: Solve equation 1 for the variable x
x = -2y + 17
Plug this in for variable x in equation
8•(-2y+17) + 3y = 45
- 13y = -91
Solve equation for the variable y
13y = 91
y = 7
By now we know this much
x = -2y+17
y = 7
Use the y value to solve for x
x = -2(7)+17 = 3
