The given set of equations: y=-3x+1............(1) y=2x-4 .............(2)
can be solved most conveniently by rewriting as y =-3x+1 = 2x-4
We concentrate on the right equality, which is expressed in x only: -3x+1 = 2x-4 Transpose and solve for x 1+4 = 2x+3x 5x=5 x=5/5=1 Substitute x=1 in the first equation: y=-3(1)+1=-2 second equation: y=2*x-4=2(1)-4=-2
