Answer:

x = 65, y = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 120 → (1)

2x - y = 140 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y, that is

4x = 260 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 65

Substitute x = 65 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

2(65) + y = 120

130 + y = 120 ( subtract 130 from both sides )

y = - 10
