#x=-1# and #y=0#

Explanation:

#color(white)(xx)x=y-1#, #2x+y=-2#

#color(white)xx2x+y=-2<=>x=(-y-2)/2#

#=>y-1=(-y-2)/2#
#=>color(red)(2xx)(y-1)=color(red)(2xx)(-y-2)/2#
#=>2y-2color(red)(+2)=-y-2color(red)(+2)#
#=>y=0#

#color(white)(xx)x=y-1#
#color(white)(xxx)=color(blue)0-1#
#color(white)(xxx)=-1#
