    Answer: x = 40; y = 19

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x + y = 59

    2*x - 6*y = - 34

    x + y = 59

    x = 59 - y

    2 * (59 - y) - 6*y = - 34

    118 - 2*y - 6*y = - 34

    - 8*y = - 34 - 118

    -8*y = - 152

    y = - 152 / - 8

    y = 19

    x = 59 - y

    x = 59 - 19

    x = 40
