Answer:
x=5, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute (y-2) for x in the first equation because x=y-2.
(y-2) + y = 12
2y - 2 = 12
2y = 14
y = 7
Now substitute 7 for y in any of the equations.
x=7-2
x=5
To check your work, plug 5 for x and 7 for y into both equations.
5 + 7 = 12
^That is true.
5 = 7-2
^This is also true.
