Question

What is the value of the y-coordinate of the solution of the system of equations x-2y=1 and x+4y=7?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In order for us to be able to find our final answer, we need to be able to solve the system of equations.

x - 2y = 1

+ (-1x - 4y = -7)

_______________

-6y = -6

-6 -6

In order for us to get our final answer, we need to divide -6 both sides. This will give us:

y = 1

Answer 2

If you solved the system of equations, you would get 3, 1 as a solution. The y coordinate is 1 in this case
