Hello!
You can put in y for the first equation
2x - 3(x - 1) = -1
Distribute the -3
2x - 3x + 3 = -1
Combine like terms
-x + 3 = -1
Subtract 3 from both sides
-x = -4
Since x is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive
x = 4
We can put x into the second equation to get y
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
The answers are x = 4 and y = 3
Hope this helps!

substitute y=x-1 into 2x-3y=-1
2x-3y=-1
2x-3(x-1)=-1
2x - 3x + 3 = -1
-x = -4
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into y=x-1
y=x-1 = 4 - 1 = 3
answer
x = 4 and y = 3
2x-3y=-1
2x-3(x-1)=-1
2x - 3x + 3 = -1
-x = -4
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into y=x-1
y=x-1 = 4 - 1 = 3
answer
x = 4 and y = 3
