    x = 1 and

    Y = 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Y = x + 1

    2. X + Y = 3

    Substitute equation 1 into equation 2

    X + Y = 3

    X + X + 1 = 3

    2x + 1 = 3

    Subtract 1 from both sides to eliminate 1 on the left side

    2x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1

    2x = 2

    Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

    2x/2 = 2/2

    x = 1

    Substitute 1 for x in either equation to get Y

    Using equation one, we have

    Y = x + 1

    = 1 + 1

    = 2

    x = 1

    Y = 2

    Check

    X + Y = 3

    1 + 2 = 3

    3 = 3
