i believe x = 10, just set the equations equal to one another

how exactly would you do that though? im completely lost :(

solving 2 equations means you want the y of one equation to be equal to y of the other, and the same for the x's
so
y = y
5x-9 = 4x+1
5x - 4x = +1 + 9
x = 10
sub that back into either of the originals
y = 4x+1
y = 4(10) + 1
y = 41
notice you would have gotten the same y had you subbed into the second
so x = 10, y = 41
so
y = y
5x-9 = 4x+1
5x - 4x = +1 + 9
x = 10
sub that back into either of the originals
y = 4x+1
y = 4(10) + 1
y = 41
