Answer:

x = 4, y = -5 OR (4, -5)

Explanation:

Step 1: Solve for y in the first equation

2x + y - 2x = 3 - 2x

y = 3 - 2x

Step 2: Plug in that into the second equation to get x

4x + 3(3 - 2x) = 1

4x + 9 - 6x = 1

-2x + 9 - 9 = 1 - 9

-2x / -2 = -8 / -2

x = 4

Step 3: Use x to find y

y = 3 - 2(4)

y = 3 - 8

y = -5

Answer: x = 4, y = -5 OR (4, -5)
