Make sure to explain how you know your answer is correct for full credit.

y = x + 2
-4x + y = -1
Answer by amarjeeth123(569) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The given equations are:
y = x + 2...........equation 1
-4x + y = -1........equation 2
From 2 we get y=4x-1
Substituting in 1 we get,
4x-1=x+2
3x=3
x=1
y=3
The given set of equations has one unique solution (1,3).
