Question

What’s the solution of y=x-4 and y=1/3x

Answer 1

(6,2)

Explanation:

Let's use the substitution method.

x-4=1/3x

3x-12=x

3x=x+12

2x=12

x=6

y=6-4

y=2

Answer 2

(6, 2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Use substitution

x - 4 = 1/3x

Step 2: Isolate x

2/3x = 4

x = 6

Step 3: Plug back into original equation(s)

y = 6 - 4

y = 2
