Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y = -3 x + 5 and y = 4x - 2

(1, 2)
(1, –18)
(–1, 8)
(–1, –6)

Answer 1

-3x+5=4x-2
-3x-4x=-5-2
-7x=-7
x=1
Apply x=1 in either y=4x-2 or y=-3x+5
Y=4x1-2
Y=2
=>(1,2)

Answer 2

( 1, 2)

Explanation:

since they are both equal to y

set them equal to each other and solve for x

-3x + 5 = 4x - 2
