Solve {l}{2-x=1}{6+y=2}

$$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } { 2 - x = 1 } \\ { 6 + y = 2 } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$x=1$$

$$y=-4$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$-x=1-2$$

Subtract 2 from 1 to get -1.

$$-x=-1$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$x=\frac{-1}{-1}$$

Divide -1 by -1 to get 1.

$$x=1$$

Consider the second equation. Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$y=2-6$$

Subtract 6 from 2 to get -4.

$$y=-4$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=1 y=-4$$
