Solve the system

Question

Y=x-3
Y=-x-1
Put your answer in ordered pair form: (x,y).

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

x - 3 = -x - 1

Adding x to both sides:

2x - 3 = -1

Adding 3 to both sides:

2x = 2

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 1

Now, substitute this value of x into either of the original equations to find y. Using the first equation:

y = 1 - 3

y = -2

Therefore, the solution to the system is (1, -2).
