Let
X ( s ) = L { x ( t ) } , Y ( s ) = L { y ( t ) }
and then
L { x ( t ) } = s X ( s ) x ( 0 ) = s X ( s ) , L { y ( t ) } = s Y ( s ) y ( 0 ) = s Y ( s ) 1.
Taking Laplace transform for these two equations gives
s X ( s ) + s Y ( s ) 1 X ( s ) = 1 s , s X ( s ) + 2 s Y ( s ) 2 = 0
or
( s 1 ) X ( s ) + s Y ( s ) = 1 + 1 s , s X ( s ) + 2 s Y ( s ) = 2.
So, from
s X ( s ) + 2 s Y ( s ) = 2
i calculate sY(s) so:
s Y ( s ) = 1 s X ( s ) 2
. and insert to
( s 1 ) X ( s ) + s Y ( s ) = 1 + 1 s
so:
( s 1 ) X ( s ) 1 s X ( s ) 2 = 1 + 1 s
