Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically

The graphs of the straight lines with equations $y = x - 1$ and $x + y = 3$ have been drawn on the grid.

A coordinate grid with x and y axes ranging from -5 to 5. Two straight lines are plotted. The first line, y = x - 1, passes through the points (1, 0), (0, -1), and (2, 1). The second line, x + y = 3, passes through the points (0, 3), (3, 0), and (2, 1). The two lines intersect at the point (2, 1).

Use the graphs to solve the simultaneous equations

y = x - 1

x + y = 3
