Answer :
y = -x - 1 (a)
y = x + 3 (b)
Replace the value of y in the first equation (a) by the value of y in the second equation (b).
x+3=-x-1
Solve for x
x+x=-1-3
2x=-4
x=-4/2
x= -2
Replace the value of x in (a) or (b)
y=-x-1
y= -(-2)-1
y= 2-1
y=1
y = -x - 1 (a)
y = x + 3 (b)
Replace the value of y in the first equation (a) by the value of y in the second equation (b).
