To solve and get the above answer, you would do the following: First, write out the equations involved... X + Y = 9 and Y - X = 3 Now solve the first equation for X. x + Y = 9 is the same as X= 9 - Y now plug this into the second equation. Y - X = 3 becomes Y - ( 9 - Y ) = 3 which is the same as 2 * Y = 3 + 9 and this is the same as 2Y=12 which is Y= 6. now plug this answer back into the first equation to solve for X. X + Y = 9 becomes X + 6 = 9 which is the same as X = 3 So Y = 6 and X = 3 ... so 3 and 6 are your answers.
