Which ordered pair is a solution of the system of equations? y = 3x-1 and y = 5x + 1

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 1

y = 5x + 1

We can set these equations equal to each other, since they are both y.

3x - 1 = 5x + 1

-3x - 3x

-1 = 2x + 1

-1 - 1

-2 = 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides.

x = - 1
