Answer: x = -1/7, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation: 2 + 6x = 1 - x, first to isolate x we add x to both sides giving us 2 + 7x = 1. Then, subtract two from both sides giving us 7x = -1. Finally divide by 7 to both sides give x = -1/7.

5y + 4 = 4y + 5, first to isolate the variable subtract 4y from both sides giving us y + 4 = 5. Then, subtract 4 from both sides giving us y = 1.
