    (-2, - 3)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

    Consider the following pair of equations:

    y = 3x + 3 ... 1

    y = x - 1 ... 2

    Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form.

    From both equations, we will substitute y = 3x+3 in equation 1 into 2 to have;

    3x+3 = x-1

    collecting the like terms;

    3x-x = - 1-3

    2x = - 4

    Dividing both sides by 2 will give;

    2x/2 = - 4/2

    x = - 2

    Substituting x = - 2 into equation 1;

    y = 3x+3

    y = 3 (-2) + 3

    y = - 6+3

    y = - 3

    The solution in (x, y) form is (-2, - 3)
