Answer:
2x+ (x-1) = 8
Simplified
3x-1 =8
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x−1
2x+y=8
Take the first equation and everywhere you see y in the second equation substitute x-1
2x+ (x-1) = 8
You can simplify
2x+x-1 =8
3x-1 =8
If you want to solve
3x-1+1 =8+1
3x= 9
Divide by 3
3x/3 =9/3
x=1
Then solve for y
y = x-1
y = 3-1
y=2
