Answer:

equate the two euations

y = 2x - 1 multiply by 4

4y = 8x - 4 equate with the second equation

5x - 4y = 1

5x = 8x - 4 + 1

8x - 5x = 3

3x = 3

x = 1

substitute for x in any of the two equations

y = 2x - 1

y = 2(1) - 1

y = 2 - 1

y = 1

Therefore, according the solution we have got.

Yes, (1,1) is a solution to the system.
