Question

Solve the system using substitution. Check your solution
4x-y=62
2y=x

Answer 1

(x, y) (124/7, 62/7)

Explanation:

substitute x with 2y we get

4(2y)-y=62

8y-y=62

7y=62

y=62/7

substitute the value of y into the second eqaution

2(62/7)=x

124/7=x

substitute your values of x and y into the first eqaution to check if they are solutions

4(124/7)-62/7=62

you will get

62=62

which means they are solutions
