Question

Y = 4x + 11 y = -2x - 1

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2, y= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 11

y = -2x - 1

Because both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other

4x + 11 = -2x - 1

Add 2x to each side

4x+2x +11 = -2x+2x -1

6x +11 = -1

Subtract 11 from each side

6x+11-11=-1-11

6x = -12

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = -12/6

x = -2

Now we need to find y

y = -2x-1

y = -2(-2)-1

   =4-1

   =3
