How do yo do this question I have to Solve the System by Substitution:

y = x-2
x + y = 4

x=3

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that y is basically two less than x, so we can plug that into the second equation:

x+ (x-2) = 4

We can now simplify:

2x-2=4

2x=6

x=3

After finding x we can now find y with any equation (both work):

y= 3-2

y=1

Hope this helped!
