come on, this is just Algebra I all over again.
From the first equation, x = 17-2y
Plug that into the 2nd equation and you have
17-2y-y=2
-3y=-15
y=5
Or, from the 2nd equation, x=y+2, so
y+2+2y=17
3y=15
y=5
Or, just subtract the 2nd from the first, and you get
3y=15
y=5
In any case, now you can easily find x.
