Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 ; y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use a system of two equation

x+1 = y-3

y-5 = 2x-5

we can find x in the first equation

x = y -4

we can now substitute x with this value in the second equation

y-5 = 2(y-4)-5

y = 2y-8

y = 8

we can now find x

x = 8-4 = 4

verify

2(4)-5 = 3

8-5 = 3

8-3 = 5

4 + 1 = 5
