Answer: x = 2, y = 0

Explanation:

Assuming you need help solving for x or y, and the capital Y is y, we have the system of equations:

3x + y = 6

y + 2 = x

Substituting x for y + 2 gives us

3(y + 2) + y = 6

3y + 6 + y = 6

4y = 0

y = 0

Plugging y = 0 in for the second equation gives us

x = 0 + 2, or x = 2
