Question

Solve for x and y
y = 2x + 1
y = 4x - 1

Answer 1

y=3 x=1

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x+1=4x−1

Step 1: Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x+1−4x=4x−1−4x

−2x+1=−1

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−2x+1−1=−1−1

−2x=−2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

=

−2

−2

x=1

then

y=(2)(1)+1

Answer:

y=3
