Question

A set of equations is given below:

Equation A: y = x + 1
Equation B: y = 4x + 5

Which of the following steps can be used to find the solution to the set of equations? (4 points)


x + 1 = 4x + 5

x = 4x + 5

x + 1 = 4x

x + 5 = 4x + 1

Answer 1

that doesnt answer my question, which one

Answer 2

To find the solution to the set of equations y = x + 1 and y = 4x + 5, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

x + 1 = 4x + 5

Now, rearrange the equation to solve for x:

Subtract x from both sides:
1 = 3x + 5

Subtract 5 from both sides:
-4 = 3x

Divide by 3:
x = -4/3

Therefore, the solution to the set of equations is x = -4/3.

Answer 3

My apologies for the oversight. The correct step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations y = x + 1 and y = 4x + 5 is:

x + 1 = 4x + 5
