Take the first equation and set it to equal x by subtracting 5y from both sides and multiplying by -1. Looks like this...

-x + 5y = 1
-5y -5y
-x = -5y + 1
-1(-x = -5y + 1)
x = 5y - 1 ... substitute this into the second equation you get.....

2(5y - 1) + 4y = -4 answer is #2

Down payment is 20% of the price of the home. Since the couple saved $35,000, and assuming they will pay the whole money as down payment, the highest priced home they can get is a price whose 20% is $35,000.

We can setup an equation in x (being the price of home) to get the price of the most expensive home they can buy.

<em>Which number (x) , multiplied by 20%, is equal to $35,000?</em>
