Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have two values for y in terms of x. We can now create an equation to solve for what x is.

-4x+2=-x-1

We add x to both sides

-3x+2=-1

We subtract 2 from both sides.

-3x=-3

We divide both sides by -3.

x=1

Now, we can plug our x into one of the original equations and then solve for y!

y= -4+2

y=-2

We can also test this with the other.

y= -1-1

y=-2

Therefore, our solution is (1, -2), or x=1 and y=-2.

I hope that this helps!
