y = x - 6 and y = - x + 4 linear equations

1 answer

The given linear equations are:

1) y = x - 6
2) y = -x + 4

To find the solution, we can set the equations equal to each other:

x - 6 = -x + 4

Adding x to both sides, we get:

2x - 6 = 4

Adding 6 to both sides, we get:

2x = 10

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 5

Substituting the value of x into either equation, we get:

y = 5 - 6
y = -1

Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations is (5, -1).
