Answer:
x = 3
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 2 ---------------(I)
x + 2y= 5 ----------------(II)
x - y = 2
x = 2 + y _________(III)
Substitute x = 2 + y in equation (II)
2 + y + 2y = 5 {combine like terms}
2 + 3y = 5
3y = 5 -2
3y = 3
y = 3/3
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 in equation (III)
x = 2 + 1
x = 3
