$\large\color{black}{     y = -3x + 4 \ y = 2x - 1  }$ 

I would do substitution.

solomonzelman · Answer

you know that y is equal to `-3x+4` and at the same time it is equal to `2x-1`
So you can conclude that
$\large\color{black}{      -3x + 4 = 2x - 1  }$

Can you solve the,    $\large\color{black}{      -3x + 4 = 2x - 1  }$   for x?

anonymous · Answer

I don't understand. I'm so bad at math. Am I supposed to isolate the x variables together on one side?

anonymous · Answer

Oh thank you SolomonZelman! I understand now thanks so much!

solomonzelman · Answer

So you are able to solve it, on your own?
