Since the equations are equal to each other, let's set them up.

x-1=2x+1; let's add 1 to both sides.

x=2x+2; let's subtract 2x from both sides.

-x=2; we need x to be positive so let's divide it by -1.

x=-2

Let's see what y is and see if x is -2.

y=-2-1=-3

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


So, x=-2 and y=-3.
