Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = 1.5x – 4

y = –x

(–1.6, 1.6)
(–1.5, 1.5)
(1.5, –1.5)
(1.6, –1.6)

Answer 1

hint: since both equations are solved for y, we can set them equal to each other

Answer 2

1.5x - 4 = -x

solve for x

Answer 3

Combine like terms. 1.5x and -x are like terms.
