Answer:

  (x, y) = (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

It works well to divide the first equation by 2, so the system is ...

  • x -y = -2
  • x +y = 8

Now, adding the two equations together gives ...

  2x = 6

  x = 3 . . . . divide by 2

Substituting that into either equation gives you an equation for y.

  3 - y = -2

  5 - y = 0 . . . . add 2

  5 = y . . . . . . . add y

The solution is (x, y) = (3, 5).
