Answer:

(0, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 2x + 1 → (1)

y = 5x + 1 → (2)

Substitute y = 5x + 1 into (1)

5x + 1 = 2x + 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x + 1 = 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

3x = 0 , then

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 0 + 1 = 1

solution is (0, 1 )
