Answer:

X equals 1, and Y equals 2

  • First, find the value of 2x, we have to assign one to make the problem work.


2x = 2 * 1

  • Now, find y.


3y = 3 * 2

  • Find the results of the multiplication. Remember that anything times 1 is always the same number, the base number.


2 * 1 = 2


3 * 2 = 6

  • Now, add.


6 + 2 = 8
