$x + y = 3$ , $2 x - 8 y = 19$

Subtract $y$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = 3 - y$

$2 x - 8 y = 19$

Replace all occurrences of $x$ in $2 x - 8 y = 19$ with $3 - y$ .

$x = 3 - y$

$2 (3 - y) - 8 y = 19$

Apply the distributive property.

$x = 3 - y$

$2 \cdot 3 + 2 (- y) - 8 y = 19$

Multiply $2$ by $3$ .

$x = 3 - y$

$6 + 2 (- y) - 8 y = 19$

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$x = 3 - y$

$6 - 2 y - 8 y = 19$

$x = 3 - y$

$6 - 2 y - 8 y = 19$

Subtract $8 y$ from $- 2 y$ .

$x = 3 - y$

$6 - 10 y = 19$

$x = 3 - y$

$6 - 10 y = 19$

$x = 3 + 1 (\frac{13}{10})$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

Multiply $\frac{13}{10}$ by $1$ .

$x = 3 + \frac{13}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

$x = 3 + \frac{13}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

To write $3$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{10}{10}$ .

$x = 3 \cdot \frac{10}{10} + \frac{13}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

Combine $3$ and $\frac{10}{10}$ .

$x = \frac{3 \cdot 10}{10} + \frac{13}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$x = \frac{3 \cdot 10 + 13}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $3$ by $10$ .

$x = \frac{30 + 13}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

Add $30$ and $13$ .

$x = \frac{43}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

$x = \frac{43}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$

$x = \frac{43}{10}$

$y = - \frac{13}{10}$
