Question

How to solve system of equations y - 4 = x and y = 2x = -2

Answer 1

Answer: x = -1 y = -2

Explanation:

Was that supposed to be an equal in the second equation??

Answer 2

Hello There today we solve your problem

Since you mean't the equation

`y-4=x\\y+2x=-2`

we will use that one instead

First off we can substitute
`y` for
`x+4`

Now we have an equation

`x+4+2x=-2` then simplify

`3x+4=-2`

do simple algebra and we get that

`x=-2`

Since we said that
`y=x+4` we can plug in our value of
`x`

`y=-2+4\\y=2`

`\boxed{x=-2}`

`\boxed{y=2}`
