Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

We have

y = 2x-1

y= 4x-5

Therefore, as 2x-1=y=4x-5, we can say that

2x-1=4x-5

add 1 to both sides to make one side have only x components

2x = 4x-4

subtract 4x from both sides to separate the x components

-2x = -4

divide both sides by -2 to separate the x

x = 2
