Answer

$(-6,23)$.

Work Step by Step

The given system of equations is $y=-3x+5$ ...... (1) and $y=-4x-1$ ...... (2) Equate equation (1) and equation (2). $\Rightarrow -3x+5=-4x-1$ Add $4x-5$ to both sides. $\Rightarrow -3x+5+4x-5=-4x-1+4x-5$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=-6$ Substitute the value of $x$ into equation (1). $\Rightarrow y=-3(-6)+5$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=18+5$ $\Rightarrow y=23$ Hence, the solution is $(-6,23)$.
