You want to use the substitution property here.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Get the first equation to get as to an &quot;x=...&quot; or &quot;y=...&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
So, rewrite the first equation to be in slope-intercept form. y= -x+4&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Substitute this equation in on the second equation&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
2x-(-x+4)=5&lt;br&gt;
Simplify:&lt;br&gt;
3x+4=5&lt;br&gt;
3x=1&lt;br&gt;
x=1/3&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Now plug in your answer on one of the original equations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
(1/3) + y = 4&lt;br&gt;

y = 4 - (1/3)&lt;br&gt;
y = 3{{{2/3}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Therefore:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
x = (1/3)&lt;br&gt;
y = 3{{{2/3}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
