um is the other one (2, 3) ?
I really don't know the entire "proper" method.
but I just used simple substitution.
(x^(x+1)) + 1 = (x+1)^x
this worked out to get me to this equation
(x + 1)^x - ((x)^x)x = 1
I originally tried to solve setting equal to zero, but I noticed that if x is 0 then anything in the left side is going to come out to 1 - 0 which satisfies the equation.
Then I was like, what the hell lets see if one works for x as well. Sure enough, it came out to 2 - 1 = 1.
then I was like, ok maybe the next one is two for x.......
and sure enough, 9 - 8 = 1
obviously I just plugged in the x solutions to get the Y values.
Guessing and checking is not how I was taught to solve equations. I just haven't done math in 4 years.................
I used to be an ace at a calculus.... Got an A in the course with out hardly any work.... DX

Actually, you got it right! Good job!
