x = 1, y = 9. Here's one way to solve:

Since y = x + 8, from the second equation, substitute (x + 8) for y in the first equation: x + (x+8) = 10 --> 2x + 8 = 10, and 2x = 2, so x = 1.

Now y = x + 8, so substitute x=1 and get y = 1 + 8 = 9. Check your answer in the first equation: [x+y=10]: 1+9=10, which checks out.
