Set the equations equal to one another and solve for x


4x + 4 = -3x - 3

7x + 4 = -3

7x = -7

x = 1


Now pulg x into one of the equations:

y = 4(-1) + 4

y = -4 + 4 = 0


THe answer is now (-1, 0)

y = 4x + 4

y = -3x - 3


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Note that both of them are equal to y, so you can set them equal to each other


4x + 4 = -3x - 3


Isolate the x. Add 3x to both sides, and subtract 4 from both sides


4x (+3x) + 4 (-4) = -3x (+3x) - 3 (-4)


4x + 3x = -3 - 4


Simplify


7x = -7


Isolate the x. Divide 7 from both sides


7x/7 = -7/7


x = -7/7


x = -1


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plug in -1 for x in one of the equations.


y = 4x + 4

y = 4(-1) + 4

y = -4 + 4

y = 0


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


x = -1, y = 0, or A) (-1,0) is your answer



hope this helps
