solve the problem
y=2x
y-x=1
---
Rearrange:
y = 2x
y = x+1
-------------
Substitute and solve for "x":
2x = x+1
x = 1
--------
Solve for "y":
y = 2x
y = 2*1 = 2
================

y=2x......1....substitute y in ...2..
y-x=1......2
---------------------
2x-x=1......solve for x
x=1.......now find y
y=2%2A1......1
y=2.........
answer:x=1 and y=2
