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 )
