Answer:

3 fish, 2 dogs

Explanation:

You want a point on the grid representing the solution to the relations, Kingston has 5 pets, and the number of fish is 1 more than the number of dogs.

Relations

Each relation can be plotted as a line on the graph:

f + d = 5 . . . . . . . . the total number of pets is 5

f = d + 1 . . . . . . . . there is 1 more fish than dogs

The attached plot shows these lines cross at coordinates ...

(fish, dogs) = (3, 2)

The red circle is the point on the grid that represents the numbers of pets Kingston has.

Additional comment

The equations are plotted only for their respective practical domains. It makes no sense to plot numbers of pets in a range outside 0 to 5.
