Find the solution of y = x + 2 and y = 3x - 4.

x = -1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 2

y = 3x + 4

since both of these equal y, you can rewrite this as one equation:

x + 2 = 3x + 4

subtract x from both sides of the equation

2 = 3x + 4 - x

2 = 2x + 4

subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

2 - 4 = 2x

-2 = 2x

divide both sides of the equation by 2

-2/2 = x

-1 = x

now you can plug this back into the original equation to find y.

y = x + 2

y = -1 + 2

y = 1
