Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? One-fourth x minus one-half y = 8 One-half x + three-fourths y = negative 5 (–8, –12) (–8, 12) (8, 12) (8, –12)

Answer 1

Explanation:

x/4-y/2=8, x-2y=32, x=32+2y

x/2+3y/4=-5, 2x+3y=-20, x=(-20-3y)/2

32+2y=(-20-3y)/2

64+4y=-20-3y

7y=-84

y=-12, since x=32+2y

x=32+2(-12), x=32-24=8

So the solution is the point (8, -12)

Answer 2

its (8, -12)
