  (x, y) = (5, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have two equations in "y = ..." form, you can equate the two expressions for y.

  y = 2x -4

  y = x +1  . . . . . both are given

__

Equating y to itself, we have ...

  y = y

  2x -4 = x +1 . . . . . substitute the given expressions

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . add 4-x to both sides

Then either equation can be used to find y:

  y = x +1 = 5 +1 = 6

The solution is (x, y) = (5, 6).

pls ask

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5
