Question

1. y = 4x - 9

y = x - 3

Explanation:

Step1: Set equations equal

Since both equal \( y \), set \( 4x - 9 = x - 3 \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract \( x \): \( 3x - 9 = -3 \). Add 9: \( 3x = 6 \). Divide: \( x = 2 \).

Step3: Find \( y \)

Substitute \( x = 2 \) into \( y = x - 3 \): \( y = 2 - 3 = -1 \).

Answer:

The solution is \( x = 2 \), \( y = -1 \) (or the ordered pair \( (2, -1) \))
