Answer:

x=2 and y=1

Explanation:

Rewrite equations:

y=−x+3;y=x−1

Step: Solve

y=−x+3

Step: Substitute−x+3foryiny=x−1:

y=x−1

−x+3=x−1

−x+3+−x=x−1+−x(Add -x to both sides)

−2x+3=−1

−2x+3+−3=−1+−3(Add -3 to both sides)

−2x=−4−2x−2=−4−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x=2

Step: Substitute2forxiny=−x+3:

y=−x+3

y=−2+3

y=1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Hope this Helps you :)
