Question 605571
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Which equation?  You have two.  Unless you meant "What are the steps to solve this <i><b>system of</b></i> equations?"


In that case, add *[tex \LARGE -x] to both sides of the first equation.  Then multiply the first equation by *[tex \LARGE -1].  Then add the two equations, term by term.  Solve the resulting single variable equation in *[tex \LARGE x].  Once you have a value for *[tex \LARGE x] substitute it into either of the original equations and solve for *[tex \LARGE y].

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
