x = 2x=2 and y = 3y=3

Explanation:

The value of xx is given in the second equation, so all you have to do is substitute that value for xx in the first equation and then solve for yy:
y = 4x - 5y=4x5
y = 4(2) - 5y=4(2)5
y = 8 - 5y=85
y = 3y=3

(x,y)to(2,3)(x,y)(2,3)

Explanation:

"we can substitute "x=2" directly into the other equation"we can substitute x=2 directly into the other equation
"and solve for y"and solve for y

x=2rArry=(4xx2)-5=8-5=3x=2y=(4×2)5=85=3

"the point of intersection "=(2,3)the point of intersection =(2,3)
graph{(y-4x+5)(y-1000x+2000)((x-2)^2+(y-3)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
