You isolate one variable. Let's say that x will be that variable in the first equation:
x-y=1
 +y  +y
x=y+1
So now you have the equation for x.  All you have to do is substitute it into the other:
x=y+1
(y+1)+y=3
Combine like terms and solve:
2y+1=3
    -1  -1
2y=2
2y/2=2/2
y=1
Now that you have the value of one, substitute it into either of the equations to find x.
If you put it in the first:
x-1=1
 +1  +1
x=2
If you put it into the other, you would get the same answer.
Therefore, y=1 and x=2

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: D


Step-by-step explanation:

No such thing as a vertex of a graph... Eliminate B and C. Try f(3) = 4(3-5)(3+3) is not zero eliminate A. So answer must be D. Check: f(-3) has factor -3+3 = 0. f(5) has factor 5-5 = 0.

5y-8=x<br> 3y-4=x<br><br> please need help
jarptica [38.1K]
First, you set up the equation which would be 5y-8=3y-4.
                                                                             -3y       -3y
                                                                               2y-8= -4
                                                                                 +8    +8
                                                                                  2y=4
                                                                               divide by 2    
                                                                                   y=2
