Answer:
(3, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = – x + 4 → (1)
y = x – 2 → (2)
Substitute y = x – 2 into (1)
x – 2 = – x + 4 ( add x to both sides )
2x – 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
y = 3 – 2 = 1
solution is (3, 1 )
