Answer:
x=-3, and y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both equations are equal to y, set them equal to each other and solve for x, that way you can solve for y:
x+5=-2x-4
3x+5=-4
3x=-9
x=-3
Plugging in x=-3 into one of the original equations:
y = x + 5
y = -3 + 5
y = 2
Therefore, x=-3 and y=2. You can also write as the ordered pair (-3,2) since that's where the two equations would intercept on a graph.
