Step 1.1

Replace all occurrences of $y$ in $x - y = 1$ with $x + 4$ .

$x - (x + 4) = 1$

$y = x + 4$

Step 1.2.1.1.1

Apply the distributive property.

$x - x - 1 \cdot 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

Step 1.2.1.1.2

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$x - x - 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

$x - x - 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

Step 1.2.1.2

Simplify by adding terms.

Step 1.2.1.2.1

Subtract $x$ from $x$ .

$0 - 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

Step 1.2.1.2.2

Subtract $4$ from $0$ .

$- 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

$- 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

$- 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

$- 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

$- 4 = 1$

$y = x + 4$

Step 2

Since $- 4 = 1$ is not true, there is no solution.
