solve the system of equations

y=x+1
4x+y=6

1 answer

To solve the system of equations given:

  1. \( y = x + 1 \) (Equation 1)
  2. \( 4x + y = 6 \) (Equation 2)

we can substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2.

Substituting \( y \) from Equation 1 into Equation 2:

\[ 4x + (x + 1) = 6 \]

Now simplify the equation:

\[ 4x + x + 1 = 6 \] \[ 5x + 1 = 6 \]

Next, subtract 1 from both sides:

\[ 5x = 5 \]

Now, divide by 5:

\[ x = 1 \]

Now that we have the value of \( x \), we can find \( y \) using Equation 1:

\[ y = x + 1 \] \[ y = 1 + 1 = 2 \]

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ \boxed{(1, 2)} \]
