Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1

Answer:
4%
Step-by-step explanation:
264 interest/3 years=88 interest/year
principal x interest rate =interest/year
2200 x interest rate =88
interest rate =88/2200
interest rate =.04 or 4%
Answer: none
1) combine like terms: 4x + 8 = 4x - 13
2) Add 13 to both sides (addition property of equality)
3) Subtract 4x from both sides (subtraction property of equality)
4) 21 does not equal 0
