1. **State the problem:** Find the solution set of the simultaneous equations by graphical method for the first problem:
$$2x + 2 = y$$
$$y = x - 1$$
2. **Rewrite equations in slope-intercept form:**
Equation 1: $$y = 2x + 2$$
Equation 2: $$y = x - 1$$
3. **Find four ordered pairs for each equation:**
For $$y = 2x + 2$$:
- When $$x=0$$, $$y=2(0)+2=2$$, so $$(0,2)$$
- When $$x=1$$, $$y=2(1)+2=4$$, so $$(1,4)$$
- When $$x=2$$, $$y=2(2)+2=6$$, so $$(2,6)$$
- When $$x=-1$$, $$y=2(-1)+2=0$$, so $$(-1,0)$$
For $$y = x - 1$$:
- When $$x=0$$, $$y=0-1=-1$$, so $$(0,-1)$$
- When $$x=1$$, $$y=1-1=0$$, so $$(1,0)$$
- When $$x=2$$, $$y=2-1=1$$, so $$(2,1)$$
- When $$x=-1$$, $$y=-1-1=-2$$, so $$(-1,-2)$$
4. **Find the solution by equating the two expressions for $$y$$:**
$$2x + 2 = x - 1$$
Subtract $$x$$ from both sides:
$$2x + 2 - x = x - 1 - x$$
$$\cancel{2x} + 2 - \cancel{x} = \cancel{x} - 1 - \cancel{x}$$
$$x + 2 = -1$$
Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$x + 2 - 2 = -1 - 2$$
$$x = -3$$
Substitute $$x = -3$$ into $$y = x - 1$$:
$$y = -3 - 1 = -4$$
5. **Final solution:** The solution set is $$(-3, -4)$$, the point where the two lines intersect.
**Summary:**
- Equation 1 points: $$(0,2), (1,4), (2,6), (-1,0)$$
- Equation 2 points: $$(0,-1), (1,0), (2,1), (-1,-2)$$
- Solution: $$(-3,-4)$$
This completes the graphical solution for the first simultaneous equation system.
