Question

Do you think any ordered pairs are solutions to BOTH y=x+5 and y=-2x-1? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

ordered pair(-2 , 3) is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x+5

y=-2x-1

x+5 = -2x-1    substitution

x+5+2x-5 = -2x-1+2x-5

3x = -6

x = -2

y = -2+5 = 3

ordered pair(-2 , 3) is the solution
