Distribute

Combine like terms on the left side

Subtract 1 from both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Now that we know that , we can plug this into to find

Substitute for each

Simplify

So our answer is and which also looks like

Notice if we graph the two equations, we can see that their intersection is at

. So this verifies our answer.
