Answer :

Answer: x=3, y=7

Step-by-step explanation: you can substitute in y in one equation for the other.

to get only one variable (x), you can set the sides = because they are both y.

you get 4x-5=2x+1

+5 on both sides

4x=2x+6

-2x on both sides

2x=6 --> x=3

now you can substitute it back in.

y=4(3)-5 --> y=12-5 --> y=7
