Im really confused on what to do, these are the equations:
Y = 2x + 4
5 = 2x -3y
Thanks :) x
Y = 2x + 4
5 = 2x -3y
Thanks :) x

2*x = y - 4
x = (y - 4)/2 = (1/2)*y - 2
2*x = 5 + 3*y
x = (3/2)*x + 5/2
3*y = 2*x - 5
y = (2/3)*x - 5/3
x = (y - 4)/2 = (1/2)*y - 2
2*x = 5 + 3*y
x = (3/2)*x + 5/2
3*y = 2*x - 5
y = (2/3)*x - 5/3

I believe what you are asking is how do you combine the two equations into one. To do that, substitue the first equation into the y variable of the second equation. 5=2x-3(2x+4) which translates to 5=2x-6x-12. Break this down further to 17=-4x and finally solve for x. x=-4.25
