Answer: The point (4, 1) is a solution to this system of equations.
Explanation:
To determine if (4, 1) is a solution to this system, you must plug it in to both of the equations. It is in the form of (x, y); so x = 4, and y = 1
Equation #1: y = -x + 5
1 = -(4) + 5
1 = 1 <————— This is part of the solution to this equation.
Equation #2: y = 2x - 7
1 = 2(4) - 7
1 = 8 - 7
1 = 1 <———- This is part of the solution to this equation.
The point (4, 1) is a solution to this system of equations.
