what will be the solution of the next equation
Y=-5/2x+3
Y=x-4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1.  It is not "equation". It is the system of two equations.


2.  The left sides are identical.

    Hence, the right sides are equal:

    x-4 = -(5/2)x + 3.


    Now you really have one single equation for one unknown x.


    Can you solve it on your own ?
