Sabrina Hinton · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 4y = 6

4y = - 5x + 6

y = - 5/4x + 24 ... slope here is - 5/4 and y int is 24

10x - 2y = 7

-2y = - 10x + 7

y = 5x - 7/2 ... slope here is 5 and y int is - 7/2

if the slopes and the y int's are different, which they are, then there is 1 solution
