    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    y = x - 20 → (1)

    x + y = 84 → (2)

    Substitute y = x - 20 into (2)

    x + x - 20 = 84, that is

    2x - 20 = 84 (add 20 to both sides)

    2x = 104 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 52

    Substitute x = 52 into (1) for corresponding value of y

    y = 52 - 20 = 32

    Solution is (52, 32)
