    An easy way to do this is by using the simplest equations you can:

    x + y and x - y

    (3, 5) is (x, y). all you have to do is plug those into your equations and get a result, so:

    x + y = 8

    (because 3 + 5 = 8)

    x - y = - 2

    (because 3 - 5 = - 2)

    and those can serve as your system of equations.

    you can check it by solving by substitution:

    x - y = - 2

    x + y = 8

    solve one of the equations for a single variable:

    x = y - 2

    plug it into the second equation:

    (y - 2) + y = 8

    y - 2 + y = 8

    2y - 2 = 8

    2y = 10

    y = 5

    then plug that result back into the equation:

    x + y = 8

    x + 5 = 8

    x = 3
