Answer:

x is 58. y is 34

Explanation:

x + y = 97.

x - y = 19

If you add the 2 equations together, isolate the variable x, and then plug that number into the first equation, you get these numbers.

x + y + (x - y) = 97 + 19

2x = 97 +19

2x = 116

divide both sides by 2

x = 58

plug it into the first equation and solve for y and you'll get 34.
