Answer:


x=3


y=1

Explanation:

We can subtract the first equation from the second to find the value of
y, although we can also do this vice versa.


x-x=2y+1-y-2


y-1=0


y=1

Now, we can use substitution to solve for
x:


x = y+2 (pick any equation for substitution)


x=1+2


x=3

Hope this helps :)
