Question

Y = 4x + 5 ; y = x - 4

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 3, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 4x + 5 → (1)

y = x - 4 → (2)

Substitute y = 4x + 5 into (2)

4x + 5 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x + 5 = - 4 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 3

Substitute x = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

y = x - 4 = - 3 - 4 = - 7

solution is (- 3, - 7 )
