Question

Y=x−4 y=4x+2 ​ What does y and x equal?

Answer 1

x=-2

y = -6

Explanation:

y=x−4

y=4x+2

Since they are both equal to y, we can set them equal

x-4 = 4x+2

Subtract x from each side

x-4-x =4x+2-x

-4 = 3x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

-4-2 = 3x+2-2

-6 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

-6/3 = 3x/3

-2 =x

Now we need to find y

y = x-4

y = -2-4

y = -6
