Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 2/5 through the parentheses

2/5x-4/5=-1

multiply both sides by 5

2x-4=-5

move the constant to the right and change the sign

2x=-5+4

add the sum

2x=-1

divide both sides by 2

x=-1/2

Y= x +2 and y=3x-4 solved using substitution

weqwewe [10]

So I did this:

y=x +2
y=3x-4

I used the first equation to plug into the second equation.
x+2= 3x -4
I subtracted 3 from both sides so I get
-2x+2=-4
So I subtract 2 from both sides so I get
-2x=-6
I divide -2 on both sides and so I get
x=3
Then I plug the x into either equation. I did the first equation.
y=3+2
y=5
So x=3 and y=5
