-4x+3=-2 y=x-1 solve for x and y

x=1 1/4 (1.25), y=1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation "y=x-1" seems simple enough, we're going to plug that in for our other equation, "-4x+3=-2".

1. Rearrange y=x-1 to fit our other equation, -4x+3=-2.

y=x-1 (add 1 to both sides)

y+1=x x=y+1

2. Plug our newly rearranged equation into -4x+3=-2.

-4(y+1)+3=-2

-4y-4+3=-2 (distributive property)

3. Add/subtract like terms.

-4y-1=-2

4. Get y to be by itself.

-4y=-1 (add 1 to both sides)

y=1/4

1. Now for y=x-1. Plug 1/4 into y.

1/4=x-1

1 1/4=x

x=0
