Question

Y = -4x + 2
y = x - 3

Answer 1

(1, - 2 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 4x + 2 → (1)

y = x - 3 → (2)

Since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides

x - 3 = - 4x + 2 ( add 4x to both sides )

5x - 3 = 2 ( add 3 to both sides )

5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 in (2) for corresponding value of y

y = 1 - 3 = - 2

Solution is (1, - 2 )
