Answer:
x = 8 , y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2x + 2y = 38 => x + y = 19 - -- ( 1 ) \\\\y = x + 3 ---- ( 2 ) \\\\Substitute \ ( 2 ) \ in \ ( 1) :\\\\ x + y = 19\\\\x + ( x+ 3) = 19\\\\2x + 3 = 19\\\\2x = 19 - 3 \\\\2x = 16 \\\\x = \frac{16}{2} = 8\\\\Substitute \ x = 8 \ in \ ( 1 ) : \\\\x + y = 19\\\\8 + y = 19\\\\y = 19 - 8 = 11[/tex]
