Question 580247
# 1


Hint: Since y = x - 5 and y = 4x-8, you can take the first equation y = x - 5 and replace 'y' with '4x-8' to get


y = x - 5


4x-8 = x - 5



From there, solve for x. Once you have the solution for x, use it to find y (by plugging the solution for x into either y = x - 5 or y = 4x-8)

# 2


Hint: 


If you add the two equations, you'll get


<pre>
    4x-2y=-8
+  -4x+5y=14 
----------
       3y = 6

</pre>


From there, solve for y. Then use the solution of y to find x.
