Answer:

x= 1.6

y= - 1.6

Explanation:


y = 1.5x - 4


y = -x

WE solve for x and y using substitution method

LEts plug in -x for y in the first equation


y = 1.5x - 4


-x = 1.5x - 4

Subtract 1.5x on both sides


-2.5x=- 4

Divide both sides by -2.5

x= 1.6

Now plug in 1.6 for x in y=-x

y= - 1.6
