    You solve either one for y, but I chose the second one.

    Add 5 to both sides and you get

    X+5=y

    Plug this in to the first equation

    X=-2 (x+5) + 1

    I am assuming that is plus one instead of equal since the keys are near each other on a phone.

    Back to the math: use the distributive property to get

    X=-2x-10+1 now combine terms

    X=-2x-9

    Add 2x to both sides to get

    3x=9

    Divide both sides by 3 to get

    X=3

    Now plug 3 in as x in any of the above

    I will choose the second one again

    So 3=y-5 subtract 5 from both sides to get

    Y=8

    So the solution is (3,8)
