Solve.

y = 2x - 5

y = - 2x - 9

(-1,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 2x-5 (from the first equation) as the y-value for the second equation, so you have something that looks like this:

2x-5 = - 2x-9

Add 2x to both sides: 4x-5 = - 9

Add 5 to both sides 4x = - 4

Divide both sides by 4: x = - 1

Substitute - 1 for x in either equation (you'll get the same y-value)
