    Given system of equation:

    y=-1/5x + 1 Equation 1

    y=x+4 Equation 2

    Substitute value of y in equation 2.

    x+4=-1/5x+1

    Multiply both sides by 5.

    5x+20=-x+5

    Add x to both sides

    6x+20=5

    Subtract 20 from both sides

    6x=-15

    x=-15/6

    x=-5/2

    Now substitute value of x in equation 1.

    y=-1/5 (-5/2) + 1

    y=1/2+1

    y=3/2

    Solution is (x, y) = (-5/2, 3/2)
