Answer 2

Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 2x - 4 → (1)

y = 4x + 2 → (2)

Substitute y = 4x + 2 into (1)

4x + 2 = - 2x - 4 ( add 2x to both sides )

6x + 2 = - 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

6x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

y = 4(- 1) + 2 = - 4 + 2 = - 2

solution is (- 1, - 2 )
