Answer:

(1, - 1 )

Explanation:

x + y = 0 โ†’ (1)

5x + y = 4 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

y = 4 - 5x โ†’ (2)

substitute y = 4 - 5x into (1)

x + 4 - 5x = 0

4 - 4x = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 4x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 1

substitute x = 1 into (1) and solve for y

1 + y = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

y = - 1

solution is (1, - 1 )
