Answer:

[tex]x=3\\y=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x+2y=13\\y=x-1[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y=x-1[/tex] for y:

[tex]y=x-1[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x-1[/tex] for y in [tex]3x+2y=13[/tex]:

[tex]3x+2y=13[/tex]

[tex]3x+2(x-1)=13\\[/tex]

[tex]5x-2=13[/tex]

[tex]5x=13+2[/tex]

[tex]5x=15[/tex]

[tex]x=15/5[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex]

Substitute 3 for x in [tex]y=x-1[/tex]:

[tex]y=x-1[/tex]

[tex]y=(3)-1[/tex]

[tex]y=2[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex] and [tex]y=2[/tex]

hope this helps...
