Answer:
(- [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex], 25 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 4x - 5 → (1)
y = - 2x + 10 → (2)
Substitute y = - 2x + 10 into (1)
- 2x + 10 = - 4x - 5 ( add 4x to both sides )
2x + 10 = - 5 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
2x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
Substitute this value into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (2)
y = - 2(- [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] ) + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25
Solution is ( - [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex], 25 )
