Answer:
x = 1 and
Y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Y = x + 1
2. X + Y = 3
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2
X + Y = 3
X + X + 1 = 3
2x + 1 = 3
Subtract 1 from both sides to eliminate 1 on the left side
2x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1
2x = 2
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
2x/2 = 2/2
x = 1
Substitute 1 for x in either equation to get Y
Using equation one, we have
Y = x + 1
= 1 + 1
= 2
x = 1
Y = 2
Check
X + Y = 3
1 + 2 = 3
3 = 3
