take the second equation and plug it into the first one after you set it equal to x.
so y+4=x then plug it into the first equation.
y=y+4-4
then 4-4=0
so your answer would be y=y which would make it be no solution.
your answer is NO SOLUTION!!!

Seems like there is a solution. Substituting 3x into the second equation we get
3x = x - 4
x = -2
Since y = 3x, then y = 3(-2) = -6. It also satisfies the second equation.

how do you solve
y=3x
y=x-4
using substitution
----------
Sub 3x for y in the 2nd eqn
3x = x-4
2x = -4
x = -2
--------
y = -6
