What are the values of x and y in the following pair of equations? x² y - 2y = 42 x + 2 = 5

x = 2, y = 4

x = 3, y = 6

x = 5, y = 8

None of these

Given the pair of equations:

1. x²y - 2y = 42

2. x + 2 = 5

From equation (2), we get:

x = 5 - 2

x = 3

Now, substitute x = 3 into equation (1):

3²y - 2y = 42

9y - 2y = 42

7y = 42

y = 6
