Question

y = 5x-1
y = -5x+9
the solution is (simplify your answer. type an ordered pair)

Answer 1

To find the solution, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

5x - 1 = -5x + 9

Now, let's solve for x:

5x + 5x = 9 + 1

10x = 10

x = 1

Now, substitute the value of x back into either equation to find y:

y = 5(1) - 1
y = 5 - 1
y = 4

Therefore, the solution is (1, 4).
