Answer:

  (x, y) = (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the second equation to write an expression for x:

  x = 1 +y

Substitute that into the first equation:

  (1 +y) +4y = 6

  5y = 5 . . . . . . . . subtract 1, collect terms

  y = 1 . . . . . . . divide by 5

  x = 1 +1 = 2 . . . use the expression for x to find x from y

The solution is (x, y) = (2, 1).
