y=2x+5y=6x+1

Question

What like to solve the above equation

Answer 1

If you set these two equations equal to each other and solve algebraicaly it should look like this:

2x + 5 = 6x + 1

      -1           -1

2x + 4 = 6x

-2x        -2x

4 = 4x

(divide by 4)

4/4 = x

1 = x

Now check, subsitute 1 in the equality

2(1) + 5 =? 6(1) + 1

2 + 5 =? 6 + 1

7 = 7 so

x=1

Answer 2

Did you mean... y=2x+5  and y=6x+1 and you need to find the value of x?

First, you need to set them equal to each other, because the two equations tell you that you can do that.. they are both equal to a value 'y'. 

By setting them equal to each other and solving for x, you find x equals -1/2
