    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    y = x + 1 → (1)

    x + 2y = 14 → (2)

    Substitute y = x + 1 into (2)

    x + 2 (x + 1) = 14 ← distribute and simplify left side

    x + 2x + 2 = 14

    3x + 2 = 14 (subtract 2 from both sides)

    3x = 12 (divide both sides by 3)

    x = 4

    Substitute x = 4 into (1) for corresponding value of y

    y = 4 + 1 = 5

    Solution is (4, 5)
