Question

Will someone please help me with this because I don't understand and I don't want to fail my class.

Answer 1

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

First option

Explanation:

x - 4y - 1 =0; add both sides by + 4y + 1

x - 4y - 1 + 4y + 1 = 0 + 4y + 1

Simplifying

x = 4y + 1

x + 5y - 4 = 0; Add (-5y + 4) to both sides

x + 5y - 4 -5y + 4 = 0 -5y + 4

Simplying

x = -5y +4

x = 4 - 5y

Now you have both equations

x = 4y + 1

x= 4 - 5y

Now you can use the comparison method

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y
