2x + 2y = 14 eqn 1
2x - y = 5 eqn 2

Solve for X and Y.

Simplify eqn 2 to solve for y
2x - y = 5
subtract sx from both sides
-y = 5 - 2x
multiple both sides by -1
y = 2x - 5


substitute 2x - 5 into eqn 1 for y

2x + 2y = 14
2x + 2(2x -5) = 14
2x + 4x - 10 = 14
6x - 10 = 14
add 10 to both sides
6x = 24
divide both sides by 10

x= 4

Substitute x = 4 into eqn 2

y = 2(4) - 5
y = 8 - 5
y = 3


X = 4 and y = 3
