Joint Poisson likelihood: 2λ2−3λ−2=02\lambda^2-3\lambda-2=0 gives λ^=2\hat\lambda=2

Let X and Y be independent Poisson variables with E(X)=λE(X)=\lambda and E(Y)=λ+1E(Y)=\lambda+1, when λ>0\lambda>0 is an unknown parameter. Based on single observations X and Y; (X,Y)=(2,3)(X,Y)=(2,3), the MLE of λ\lambda will be:
