Answer:
x = - 2, y = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
13x - 6y = 22 → (1)
x = y + 6 → (2)
Substitute x = y + 6 into (1)
13(y + 6) - 6y = 22 ← distribute and simplify left side
13y + 78 - 6y = 22
7y + 78 = 22 ( subtract 78 from both sides )
7y = - 56 ( divide both sides by 7 )
y = - 8
Substitute y = - 8 into (2) and evaluate for x
x = - 8 + 6 = - 2
Thus x = - 2, y = - 8
