An equation in the system is y = x + 1. What is the other equation in the system if the solution is only at (0, 1)?



x − y = 1



2x + 2y = 4



x + y = 1



x + 2y = 2

idk

jadeishere · Answer

Hold on, let me work it out @catking

anonymous · Answer

ok thx

jadeishere · Answer

it's 16 + 8 for the first question

jadeishere · Answer

the reason being is if you half 16 you get 8
if you add four to 8 you get 12
12 + 8 = 20

anonymous · Answer

so whats the answer?

jadeishere · Answer

Okay for the equation...
the other equation is perpendicular to y = x + 1 with the intersecting intercepts of (0, 1)?
