Answer:

x=5, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x−2;4x+y=23

Step: Solve y=x−2 for y:

Step: Substitute x−2 for y in 4x+y=23:

4x+y=23

4x+x−2=23

5x−2=23(Simplify both sides of the equation)

5x−2+2=23+2(Add 2 to both sides)

5x=25

5x/5 = 25/5(Divide both sides by 5)

x=5

Step: Substitute 5 for x in y=x−2:

y=x−2

y=5−2

y=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
