Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = 2x + 2

y = x - 1

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y:                    2x + 2 = x - 1Isolate x terms:                    x + 2 = -1Isolate x:                              x = -3

Step 3: Solve for y

Define equation:                     y = x - 1Substitute in x:                        y = -3 - 1Subtract:                                  y = -4
