You can solve this question in multiple ways, but for this example I'll use substitution.
In the two equations
x=17-4y
and
y=x-2
you can substitute y in the first equation with the second equation.
x=17-4(x-2)
x=17-4x+8
x=25-4x
5x=25
x=5
Substitute 5 into one of the two equations to get your y value
y=x-2
y=5-2
y=3
Your final answer is x=5 and y=3 or (5,3).
