Answer 3

do you still need help with this @proverbsm

Answer 4

yerp ;l

Answer 5

so you have
y =x - 5
y =-x - 4

I assume
so, just grab the top "y" and plug it in the second, as the link example showed
what does it give you?

Answer 6

is it y=1? lmao I'm so lost. This sucks!

Answer 7

well, what's "y" equals to in the 1st equation?

Answer 8

x-5

Answer 9

so grab THAT and stick it in the 2nd equation instead of "y"
how would the 2nd equation would look like?

Answer 10

x-5-x-4 , uhm maybe? <--

Answer 11

$$
y =\color{red}{x - 5}\\
y =-x - 4\\
\text{thus}\\
\color{red}{x-5}=-x - 4
$$

Answer 12

i had that but wasnt ve

Answer 13

very sure of it

Answer 14

okay now that I know what to do with my equation, I solve it from here?

Answer 15

see once you have THAT only, then notice, the "y" is really gone, and all you'ref left with is "x's"
so, now just solve for "x"
