Solve the system of equations
y equals 5 x plus 4
y equals 7 x plus 6

x = -1 , y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have system of equations and are asked to solve them.

We are looking for x and y, since both equations start with y, we can plug one to the other.

y = 5x + 4

y = 7x + 6

5x + 4 = 7x + 6

Now isolate x byitself to get x :

5x + 4 = 7x + 6

Subtract 4 from both sides :

5x = 7x + 2

Subtract 7x from both sides :

-2x = 2

Divide -2 by both sides :

x = -1

Now that we know what x is, we can substitute it into the equations seapraretly.

y = 5(-1) + 4

y = 7(-1) + 4

y = -5 + 4

y = -7 + 6

-5 + 4

-1

-7 + 6

-1

Therefore, both x and y equal -1
