Answer 1

Answer: (- 4, - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are

y = 5x + 13

y = 2x + 1

We would equate both equations. We have

5x + 13 = 2x + 1

5x - 2x = 1 - 13

3x = - 12

x = - 12/3

x = - 4

Substituting x = - 4 into y = 2x + 1, we have

y = 2(- 4) + 1 = - 8 + 1

y = - 7

The solution is

(- 4, - 7)
