Hi, there--
.
I'll solve this using the substitution method. Since y is equal to x-2, we will substitute x-2 for y in the second equation.
.
Now simplify and solve for x.
.
Substitute 2 for x in either equation and solve for y.
.
We have x-2 and y=0. Check your work by substituting these values into both equations.
Bingo!
.
Check!
.
The (x,y) ordered pair (2,0) is the solution for this system of equations.
.
That's it! Feel free to email me if you have questions about this solution.
