You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assign a number to y. If y=1:


x = 4y+1 = (4*1)+1=5.


x = 4y-1 = (4*1)-1=3


The two equations do not have the same solution.

If you need help understanding math so you can solve these problems yourself, then one on one online tutoring is the answer ($30/hr). If you need faster solutions with guaranteed detailed answers, then go with personal problem solving ($3.50-$5.50 per problem). Contact me at fcabanski@hotmail.com
