X - y = 2
4x – 3y = 11

For x - y = 2

You need to find x or y in one of the equations and then substitute that into the other.

So we have;

x-y=2

4x-3y=11

We will take the first equation and find x;

x-y=2

add y to both sides;

x-y+y=2+y

x=2+y

Now we take that answer and substitute it forx in the other equation;

4(2+y)-3y=11

8+4y-3y=11

8+y=11

y=3

Now we have what y equals, so we use it in the first equation to find x;

x-3=2

x=5

So we have;

x=5; y=3

Hope you understand!

And for 4x – 3y = 11

Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by 3 so that there are the same number of y's in each:

8x - 6y = 22    ...(3)

30x + 6y = -3  ...(4)

 Now add (3) and (4) term by term:

38x + 0 = 19

or

38x = 19

or x = 1/2

Put this back into equation (1)

4*(1/2) - 3y = 11

or

2 - 3y = 11

Subtract 2 from both sides:

-3y = 9

 Divide both sides by -3

y = -3

answer: a and b
