Find the solution to the system of equations. You can use the interactive graph below to find the solution. y=-4x-3 y=-2x+1 x = y=

(-2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your system is

y = - 4x - 3

y = - 2x + 1

Multiplying the second equation by - 2 results in

y = - 4x - 3

-2y = 4x - 2

combining these two equations eliminates x temporarily:

-y = - 5, so that y must be 5.

Substituting 5 for y in the second equation, we get:

5 = - 2x + 1, or

4 = - 2x, which results in x = - 2

and so the solution is (-2, 5)
