7.2 (continued)
can use Laplace transform to solve systems
basic idea: transform, solve in s-domain, then inverse transform
\( \mathcal{L}\{x\} = X \quad \mathcal{L}\{y\} = Y \)
\( \mathcal{L}\{x'\} = \mathcal{L}\{x + 2y\} \)
\( sX - x(0) = X + 2Y \)
\( sY - y(0) = 2X + Y \)
rewrite
\[\begin{aligned}(s - 1)X - 2Y &= 1 \\ -2X + (s - 1)Y &= 0\end{aligned}\]solve for \( X, Y \)
