Question

Y = x - 4
2x + y = 5

solve for x and y

Answer 1

X = 2

Y = 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Solve by substitution

`y = x - 4 \\ 2x + y = 5 \\ \\ y = x - 4 \\ 2x - 5 = - y \\ \\ y = x - 4 \\ - y = 2x - 5 \\ \\ add \: the \: two \: equations \\ \\ 0 = 3x - 9 \\ 9 = 3x \\ (9)/(3) = (3x)/(x) \\ x =3 \\ \\ substitute \: 3 \: for \: x \: in \: one \: of \: the \: equations \: to \: find \: y \\ \\ y = x - 4 \\ y = 3 - 4 \\ y = - 1 \\ \\ solution \: (3. - 1)`
