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

Racket : 94
balls : 12.50
warm ups : 34
shorts : 19.95
shoes : 44.50
total with tax : 204.95 + .05(204.95) = 204.95 + 10.25 = 215.20
20 per lesson for 12 lessons : 20 * 12 = 240
12 miles 1 way....thats 24 miles round trip, at 0.42 per mile : 24(0.42) =
10.08.....lessons and mileage : 240 + 10.08 = 250.08
for a total of : 215.20 + 250.08 = 465.28 <==
360 - 47 = 313
The answer is A
It’s -10
Explanation: 8 x 5= 40
40/-4= -10
