\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ (equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (equation 2) $\"\"$

\

Since $\"\"$

\

Rewrite the second equation for x.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Add 2y from each side) \ \

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Now Substitute $\"\"$ for x in either equation to find the value of y.

\

$\"\"$ (equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (replace $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Distributive property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) \ \

\

$\"\"$ (Add 44 to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Commutative property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 15)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Now $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (replace y by 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

The solution is $\"\"$ \ \ $\"\"$
