Set Equations Equal: We have a system of two equations:1) y=x−42) y=4x+2To find the values of x and y that satisfy both equations, we can set them equal to each other since they both equal y.So, we set x−4=4x+2.
Solve for x: Now we solve for x:x−4=4x+2Subtract x from both sides to get:−4=3x+2
Isolate x Term: Next, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with x: −4−2=3x−6=3x
Solve for x: Now, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:−6/3=xx=−2
Substitute x into Equation: With the value of x found, we can substitute it back into either of the original equations to find y. We'll use the first equation:y=x−4y=−2−4y=−6
