Answer:

(2, 5)

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 3 → (1)

- 2x + y = 1 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 3 into (2)

- 2x + x + 3 = 1

- x + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- x = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = 2 + 3 = 5

Solution is (2, 5)
