+x+=+2y+%2B+2+ and +2x+%2B+3y+=+11+
By substituting the x of the second equation by the value in second equation, we'd have
+2%2A%282y+%2B+2%29+%2B+3y+=+11+
+4y+%2B+4+%2B+3y+=+11+
+4y+%2B+3y+=+11+-+4+
+7y+=+7+
+y+=+1+
To find the value of x, substitute the value of y = 1 to the first equation
+x+=+2%2A1+%2B+2+
+x+=+2+%2B+2+
+x+=+4+
Cheers :)
