  (x, y) = (2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the first equation from the second.

  (8x -2y) -(5x -2y) = (28) -(22)

  3x = 6

  x = 2

Substitute this into either equation and solve for y.

  8(2) -2y = 28

  8 -y = 14 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 8 -14 = -6 . . . . add y-14 to both sides

The solution is (x, y) = (2, -6).

I like a graphing calculator for a quick solution to such problems.

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples
