The sum of two numbers is 8. The difference between the two numbers is 2. What are the numbers? x + y = 8 x - y = 2 *Use the tables to list the possibilities

x=5 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=8 1

x-y=2 2

x+y=8

y=8-x

substitute into 2

x-(8-x)=2

x-8+x=2

2x=10

x=5

substitute x into 1

5+y=8

y=3

5+3=8

5-3=2

answer: 1 and 3

step-by-step explanation:

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
