Answer 1

To solve the system of equations:

1. \( y = 15 \)
2. \( x = 17 - 2y \)

we can substitute the value of \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation.

Start by substituting \( y = 15 \) into the second equation:

\[
x = 17 - 2(15)
\]

Calculate \( 2(15) \):

\[
2(15) = 30
\]

Now substitute that back into the equation for \( x \):

\[
x = 17 - 30
\]

Now, simplify:

\[
x = -13
\]

Now we have the values for \( x \) and \( y \):

- \( x = -13 \)
- \( y = 15 \)

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is \( (x, y) = (-13, 15) \).

Enter your answer in the required format:

\[
(-13, 15)
\]
