given equations y = 2x+5...................(1)
y = 6x+ 1 ..................(2)
put y= 2x+5 in equation (2)
2x+5 =6x+1
substract 1 on both sdies
2x+5 -1 = 6x+1 -1
2x+4 = 6x
subtract 2x on both sides
2x+4 -2x = 6x-2x
4 = 4x
divide with 4 on both sides
4/4 = 4x/4
1 =x
put x= 1 in eq(1)
y = 2(1) +5
=2+5
= 7
so x= 1 & y= 7
