Answer:

y=3 x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

ooo this is like a riddle

ok first write it out

x=2+3y

x+y=14

plug x into the second equation

(2+3y)+y=14

multiply and all that fancy stuff

2+3y+y=14

2+4y=14

14-2=12

4y=12

12/4=3

y=3

thennnn you plug it in again

14-y=x (because that's how you'd find x if x+y=14)

14-3=x

11=x
