The equations are
\ (equation 1)
(equation 2)
Since , substitute
for x in the second equation.
(equation 2)
(replace
)
(Add:
)
(Add 1 to each side)
(Additive inverse property:
)
(Additive identity property:
)
(Add:
)
(Divide each side by 4)
(Cancel common terms)
Now Substitute 1 for x in either equation to find the value of y.
\ (equation 1)
(replace x by 1)
(Multiplicative identity property:
)
(Subtract:
)
The solution is
The solution is .
