SHOW YOUR WORK PLEASE

Answer 1

Let's solve your system by substitution.

y=2x+1;y=4x−1

Step: Solve y=2x+1for y:

y=2x+1

Step: Substitute2x+1foryiny=4x−1:

y=4x−1

2x+1=4x−1

2x+1+−4x=4x−1+−4x(Add -4x to both sides)

−2x+1=−1

−2x+1+−1=−1+−1(Add -1 to both sides)

−2x=−2

−2x

−2

=

−2

−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x=1

Step: Substitute1forxiny=2x+1:

y=2x+1

y=(2)(1)+1

y=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=1 and y=3
