Question

solve the system x-4y=1
-2x+5y=4

Answer 1

When it says 'solve the system', it means that you have to find the point where two functions cross each other.

So the first step is to put y on one side, then you set these two functions equal to each other (since when x is equal for both of them, the y is the same as well)

Answer 2

Ok here:
First step: put y on one side: y = stuffs
for both equations

Answer 3

x-4y=1
-2x+5y=4
Solve for a variable im using x-4y=1
x = 1 + 4y
sub that into the second equation as x
-2(1 + 4y)+5y=4
solve for y
sub y into first or second equation to solve for x

Answer 4

hope that helps
