Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract the first equation from the second one and you get:

3x  + 3y   =  3

x +  y   =  1  

y =  1 - x

Then you use it on the first equation

888x  +  889 (1 - x)  =  890

888x  +  889  -  889x  =  890

-x = 1

x = -1

y = 1 - x

y = 1 - (-1) = 2

Now that you have those two numbers, we have to subtract the value of x from y:

x - y

-1 - 2 = -3

Hope this helps bro
