Question

Solve the following system:
y=1
y=-6x-5

Answer 1

1= -6x-5
+5. +5
6=-6x
/-6. /-6

x=-1

Answer 2

x = -1

y = 1

Explanation:

Since it gives you "y", plug in the number given into the equation:

y = -6x - 5

1 = -6x - 5

Then, add 5 to both sides:

1 = -6x - 5

+5 + 5

________

6 = -6x

Divide both sides by -6:

6 = -6x

-1 = x

So now you have, x = -1 and y = 1
