Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the two equations to each other by subbing out the y
2x - 16 = x + 2
Move the like terms to one side
Subtract x from both sides
2x - 16 = x + 2
-x -x
x - 16 = 2
Add 16 to both sides
x - 16 = 2
+ 16 + 16
x = 18
X will have to be 18 for these equations to be true.
