    Since the first equation is already set up as x = use it to plug into the second equation.

    x + 2y = 8

    (y - 1) + 2y = 8

    y - 1 + 2y = 8

    3y - 1 = 8

    Add 1 to both sides

    3y = 9

    Divide both sides by 3

    y = 3

    Use x = y - 1 to solve for x

    x = 3 - 1

    x = 2

    (2,3)

    The answer is

    y=3

    x=2

    Also, substitution is just a type of method to solve for x and y.
