Answer:

x = 1 , y = 2

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{5 x + 2 = 7 | (equation 1)

y = x + 1 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{5 x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)

-x + y = 1 | (equation 2)

Add 1/5 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{5 x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 1 , y = 2
