let's solve the equation system:

since we can equalize both equation of y, we obtain:


4x-1=2x-5

now we need to solve this equation for x:


4x-2x=-5+1
2x=-4\Rightarrow x=-2

now that we found x, we just need to replace it in one of the two equations of y, to find it:


y=4x-1=4(-2)-1=-9

then the final answer is y=-9 and x=-2

thank you too for your question, have a beautiful day.
