anonymous · Answer

rearrange the equations first

8 − 5x = 4x − 1

add 1

9-5x = 4x

add 5x

9 = 9x

divide by nine and you have the solution to equation 1 then rearrange equation 2 and compare them

anonymous · Answer

8 − 5x = 4x − 1
9x=9=> x=1

4x + 4 = 10 − 2x
6x=6=>x=1
The solution to equation #1 is the same as the solution to equation #2.
