1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations:
$$y = x + 3$$
$$2x + y = 11$$
2. **Use substitution method:** Since $y$ is already expressed in terms of $x$ from the first equation, substitute $y = x + 3$ into the second equation.
3. **Substitute and simplify:**
$$2x + (x + 3) = 11$$
$$2x + x + 3 = 11$$
$$3x + 3 = 11$$
4. **Isolate $x$:**
$$3x = 11 - 3$$
$$3x = 8$$
$$x = \frac{8}{3}$$
5. **Find $y$ using $y = x + 3$:**
$$y = \frac{8}{3} + 3$$
$$y = \frac{8}{3} + \frac{9}{3}$$
$$y = \frac{17}{3}$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\left(\frac{8}{3}, \frac{17}{3}\right)}$$
This means the solution to the system is $x = \frac{8}{3}$ and $y = \frac{17}{3}$, the point where the two lines intersect.
