solve the system:

Question

y=x-3
y=-x-1
put your answer in ordered pair form: (x,y). make sure to show all work.

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

x - 3 = -x - 1

Adding x to both sides:

2x - 3 = -1

Adding 3 to both sides:

2x = 2

Dividing by 2:

x = 1

Substituting x = 1 into either equation, we can find the value of y:

y = 1 - 3
y = -2

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