Question

-2x-3y=-7
y+1=x
solve for y and x

Answer 1

x = 2 and y = 1

Explanation:

First, solve for y by substituting the second equation as x into the first equation

-2x - 3y = -7

-2(y + 1) - 3y = -7

Simplify and solve for y

-2y - 2 - 3y = -7

-5y - 2 = -7

-5y = -5

y = 1

Solve for x by plugging in 1 into the second equation

y + 1 = x

1 + 1 = x

2 = x

So, the answer is x = 2 and y = 1
