Help me with the right answer

x = 3

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9x - y = 26  (I)

9x + y = 28 (II)

9x - y = 26

9x = 26 + y

Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)

26 + y + y = 28               {add like terms}

26 + 2y = 28             {subtract 26 from both sides}

         2y = 28 - 26

        2y = 2    {divide both sides by 2}

           y = 2/2

y = 1

Substitute y =1 in equation (I)

9x - 1 = 26

9x = 26 + 1

9x = 27

x = 27/9

x = 3

x = 3

y = 1
