So with this, I will be using the substitution method. With the first equation, substitute (y+3) into the x variable and solve for y:
[tex] y+3+y=7\\2y+3=7\\2y=4\\y=2 [/tex]
Next, now that we have the value of y, substitute it into either equation to solve for x:
[tex] x+2=7\\x=5\\\\x=2+3\\x=5 [/tex]
And this is how you get your final answer (5,2).
