Algebra.Com's Answer #2853 by Abbey(339)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if y=4x, then substitute this into the second equation: \n" ); document.write( "x+(y)=5 \n" ); document.write( "x+(4x)=5 \n" ); document.write( "5x=5 \n" ); document.write( "x=1\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If x=1, then \n" ); document.write( "y=4*1 or 4 \n" ); document.write( "the solution set is verified by testing these numbers in the other equation: \n" ); document.write( "x+y=5 \n" ); document.write( "1+4=5 this is true so the answer has one solution: \n" ); document.write( "(1,4)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is put into parentheses, because we are talking about a point on a graph - where do these two lines cross? The answer is (1,4) \n" ); document.write( " |
