Question

Solve the following system:

y = x + 4
5x + y = 16
(2, -6) (-2, 6) (6, 2) (2, 6)

Answer 1

You can substitute x + 4 for y in the 2nd equation:

5x + y = 16

5x + (x + 4) = 16

Can you simplify that? @blueSurrency

Answer 2

We can add 5x + x, which gives us 6x.

6x + 4 = 16

Now can you do the rest?
