solve by substitution y=2x+1 the second part of the equation is 3x+y=11
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, they just made part of the work for you.
They just expressed "y" via "x" in the first equation: y = 2x+1.

All you need to do is to substitute this expression into the second equation, as it follows:

3x + (2x+1) = 11.

Now simplify and solve this single equation for "x".
